Right, most of them don't care. Such is the state of IoT today :) WPA make it harder for people not on the network to snoop, but does nothing to prevent people who already are on the network. Most routers allow you to access them via ssl with a self-signed cert. The main problem here is that you would be sending your store credentials (Ubuntu One) in plain text in your local network. And that's on top of the risks of someone intercepting the session and taking over the device completely. I think routers are accessed very infrequently, making the windows of attack much smaller. We will have all kinds of devices will all kinds of recurring remote access to the device. -- Martin -- snappy-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snappy-devel
