[Tfug] Blenders under attack, oh my!

[Claude Rubinson]

LWN.net points out this great article on common household items being
threatened by hackers:

    "5. Your Blender. Yes, Your Blender
    That's right: your blender is under attack! Most mixers are
    self-contained and not hackable, but Siciliano says many home
    automation systems tap into appliances such as blenders and coffee
    machines. These home networks are then open to attack in
    surprising ways: A hacker might turn on the blender from outside
    your home to distract you as he sneaks in a back window, he warns."
