BBC technical article ..
How 'the invisible network' poses a major security threat:
"Imagine a hacker remotely turning off a life support machine in a hospital, or shutting down a power station"
"The challenge with critical infrastructure is that it wasn't built with security in mind"
"Intel makes the chips that are being used in many IoT sensors .. and all that data being created needs to land in a database like ours residing in a data centre .. We authenticate all the devices - we're creating an end-to-end platform for the IoT world"
Is it wise collecting the credentials of all the IoT devices in the world in the one place? I mean that would make the job of the hackers so much easier, not to mention the state security apparatus.
