    I read about it this morning. Red Hat, one of the premier groups using Linux, put out a warning that "internet of things" could be compromised...smart appliances and the like. An appliance could be hacked, then the malware would be inside your home (router) firewall or something sinister like that.

    I don't think you would, so it's probably best not to have every single thing connected to the internet.

    Well, if your entire website went down and all you data was stolen, you'd know - it depends on what the hackers decide to do. Better safe than sorry!
