Hackers at it again

[Mups]

I am probably the only one who didn't know about this,  but I'll show you incase there are others too.
Bloomin'  evil hackers at it again,  turning off supermarket freezers! :

All this modern technology and AI  will be  a hackers paradise.

They turned off hospital  blood storage facilities in France, too.

You imagine if they could turn off all the power to hospitals this winter . .


I know I  keep saying the Government knows something they are not telling us, but I honestly still feel it.
Could this be why they are telling us to stock up on tinned food I wonder?

My washing machine is on WiFi  

If they do get it started will they come round to hang it out to dry?

Hope it doesn't get hacked while you're asleep....

It's a pointless feature to my mind. The app is crap too.

Why does a washing machine need to be on Wifi in the first place? None of my household goods are nor will they ever be.  What are the makers trying to do?

Actually I got it wrong it's the dishwasher. There are only 3 programs on the panel which is one more than I ever use. Lots more options and use counters so it can tell you to clean filters, rotating arms and probably top up the salt etc. from the app but you do need to connect to it first which involves button pressing on  the machine. Washing machines do have it too though.
