A Big Ol��� IoT Vulnerability - A Breakdown

What is IT security, and why should you care? As Chris explains in this episode, IT security in the IoT affects us all - especially if you own a smart TV. That���s right, four years ago a major vulnerability was reported in the technology used to cast media from one device to a smart TV. Four years later, it���s only now being publicly revealed and even worse, most of the devices affected have still not been updated. This means you could be the victim of a RickRolling right in your very own living room (or worse)! Oh yeah, and if you���re still wondering what a vulnerability is, we cover that in the episode too.
