I think we should stop going crazy over the smart things unless it’s secure enough to be called SMART—from a toaster, security cameras, and routers to the computers and cars—everything is hackable.

But the worst part comes in when these techs just require some cheap and easily available kinds of stuff to get compromised.

Want example? It took just cheap magnets purchased from Amazon online store for a security researcher to unlock a “smart” gun that only its owner can fire.
