Darlene Storm: Researchers find about 25 security vulnerabilities per Internet of Things device


70% of the 10 most popular types of Internet of Things "smart"
devices are vulnerable to being hacked, with multiple attack vectors averaging
out to about 25 security vulnerabilities per IoT device. There is also almost no
regard for privacy via securing your personal or sensitive info in the device,
the accompanying app or the connected cloud service.

Why your online identity can never really be erased

One seemingly unshakeable truth about the online world since it began is this:
The Internet never forgets. Once you post anything online, it is recoverable
forever -- the claims of former IRS official Lois Lerner about "lost" emails
notwithstanding. Even promises of photos disappearing after a few seconds have
been shown to be bogus.

Is your Dropcam feed being watched by someone else?

Dropcam, the popular video monitoring camera, bills itself as "super simple
security." But a pair of researchers plan to show at the Defcon hacking
conference later this week how having a Dropcam could get a lot more
complicated.
