You are absolutely correct about security being a problem with IoT devices. Most of the IoT devices have rudimentary processors not capable of high level security.
Just imaging some hackers from China or Russia hacking into your device at home and turning the temperature way up in the summer. Or, shutting down your car while driving in Houston traffic. Total DISASTER. Total CHAOS.

The best definition of IoT is “connecting everything to everything.” It is an exciting area that is growing very fast. It will soon be part of our everyday life – whether we like it or not. So, join us for this lecture and get acquainted with IoT. Learn about what is coming in the future and discuss how this will impact Ham Radio. Please plan to attend this important presentation.
