I lately had trouble convincing some non-tech acquaintances that IoT "cloud-enabled" cameras all over their house (including bedroom) as anti-break-in measure are a bad idea as those devices or the storage in some chinese cloud could be hacked. They ridiculed this as "far fetched".

I'll never be able to bring up this risk with USB to those guys.

Edit: IoC typo -> IoT



I know IoC as “Indicators of Compromise.” While that’s kinda true here, that’s not how you used it. What is IoC short for in your parlance?


Probably meant "IoT cameras".

Though apparently the "Internet of Cows" is something.


IoT. Sorry.


Why do you feel the need to mention "chinese"? Any cloud storage is liable to be hacked.


Because they're the dodgiest, lowest cost, cheapest option. And they like to spy/ddos.
