Still Waters Posted January 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2014 A fridge has been discovered sending out spam after a web attack managed to compromise smart gadgets. The fridge was one of more than 100,000 devices used to take part in the spam campaign. Uncovered by security firm Proofpoint the attack compromised computers, home routers, media PCs and smart TV sets. http://www.bbc.co.uk...nology-25780908 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted January 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) LOLOLOLOL!!!!!! Irony. Gotta love it! Why would you need a fridge hooked up to the web anyway? So they can monitor your daily calorie intake? Edited January 17, 2014 by OverSword 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
