IoT Devices Phoning Home

Text on the meme

I NEED TO PATCH EVERY IOT DEVICE IN MY HOME BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER 4 I CAN MITM ALL OF MY IOT DEVICES AND FIGURE OUT WHAT DATA THEY’RE ALL PHONING HOME WITH

What it means

A cartoon shows two passengers on a bus discussing internet-of-things security. One wants to patch every IoT device because of a vulnerability associated with the number 4, while the other plans to perform a man-in-the-middle attack and inspect the data their devices are sending home. The joke contrasts defensive cybersecurity with mischievous technical curiosity. EN: A cartoon shows two passengers on a bus discussing internet-of-things security.
