  • My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you

    I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi

    Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again

    The insecurity of SMS is the inability of telcos to secure number porting. If someone wants to compromise your shit, they can easily steal your phone number, if your phone number is sufficiently public

    One defence is to have a second service that is only used for authentication, and never share the number except to those providers that need to message you codes
