Hackers find security weaknesses with the Lifx smart LED - CNET

The Security of IoT with Troy Hunt @ .NET Rocks!
As it turned out, wifi light bulb could be hacked to get hold of WiFi access key,
and that way compromise network with PC's and other sensitive devices.

Keeping updates on a few PCs is hard enough, who is gonna keep patching firmware of all those "things"... something better is needed...
