Well, that was kinda the point.<p>I agree with the stance of this post that this demonstrates the dangers of the internet of things. But I think it&#x27;s misleading (and a little funny) that it&#x27;s the p2p aspect that causes all the outrage.<p>You could move all the p2p stuff from the device to a central, manufacturer-controlled proxy, relabel the p2p connections &quot;3rd party APIs&quot; and suddenly your former security nightmare has transformed into an ordinary, industry-standard IoT product, even though the data that gets transmitted is exactly the same...<p>Instead the focus should be on what data is transmitted at all, but that is an old, well-known problem of course...
