Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

MODERATORS
It's not that they're actively spying, it's just another way that an attacker could get in. You can have a highly secure network setup but if there's a cheap IoT device with no security connected then suddenly that's a backdoor in for a real attacker. Maybe that's John Hackerman at the NSA, maybe it's some script kiddie scanning for anyone running a device with a known exploit!
And that's why IoT devices needing internet access don't have access to other devices on the network and vice versa for devices with a local interface.
