‘Smart’ Thermostats And Cameras Take Down Twitter And Spotify

A massive cyber attack on Friday brought down popular sites like Twitter, Reddit and Spotify, confusing thousands of people who had nowhere to air their grievances with those sites down. Hackers used “smart devices” in your home like thermostats, refrigerators, cameras, and anything else connected to the internet and used them to attack those sites. Basically, just imagine if Terminator met all the talking appliances from Beauty and the Beast. The FBI is still investigating the attack to figure out who was behind it but we hope they find it soon. It’s one thing to hack Hillary’s emails, but we can’t just sit idly by when our twitter handle is down!
