It’s a great story. It’s also completely Fake News. DIdn’t happen at all.
The fact that “toms” hardware is reporting on this is pretty coinci(dental)
This is false, delete this fake news OP
I updated the title, but will leave it, unless the majority wishes to remove it.
Nevertheless it’s a great reminder of what we might get ourselfs into with all these fancy IoT Devices we put into our homes.
Here also the link to the original paywalled article that started this avalanche.
Who the fuck would ever connect their fucking toothbrush to the internet?
That’s almost as stupid as connecting your laundry machines to the internet, or your thermostat, or any other appliance in your house
I’m pretty happy with my $20 electric toothbrush with no fucking smart IoT features.

Since this is already being reposted, could you at least edit the post to mark it as untrue?
At this point there’s no evidence that this has really happened, please stop spreading #misinformation!
