So what’s vulnerable under Hypponen’s Law?
“All these connected devices, all these ‘smart’ devices in our networks. And I should know because I am the father of the Hypponen Law, which tells you that whenever something is described to you as ‘smart’ what you should be hearing is… it’s vulnerable.”
Mikko first tweeted his law, which triggers over 60,000 search results on Google, almost 7 years ago, in December of 2016. And it seems to become truer every day.
Even the FBI and Interpol have tried to make the case to internet users that they should not assume these connected devices are safe just because they don’t have a keyboard.
