Very interesting NPR report this morning. For all you techno junkies buy connected appliances at your peril. I recently bought a high-tech water heater. It has a programmable screen on the outside and one can set the temp. and even lower it when one is away. In cold climates the water might freeze and damage the water heater so there is an “away” setting. One can also attach a device from the local utility co. to control the heater from your I-phone. This is only one example of an increasing number of appliances that can be virtually controlled. This report shows how hackers are getting involved and can cause a lot of harm.
