Yarbo - NAT In My Back Yard. On hacking the Yarbo robotic lawnmower, including the terrifying thing that the emergency stop button, and the release of that button, are routed through the internal MQTT system, accessible from the outside. I'm all for people being able to control their own devices, but when ya open that up to the world with bad security on an Internet connected device... yikes.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
