Vulnerable peer-to-peer software exposes consumer and small-business IoT devices to compromise. A hacker says he’s hacked automotive GPS trackers, all for the good, of course, and could even turn off a car’s engine. Not, you know, that he would.

And potty-mouthed eScooters on Brisbane streets. Joe Carrigan from JHU ISI on Facebook’s continuing privacy violations, potential FTC fines and PR woes.
