All Your Coffee Are Belong To Us

Posted by kdawson on from the pouring-over-it dept.

Wolf nipple chips writes "Craig Wright discovered that the Jura F90 Coffee maker, with its honest-to-God Jura Internet Connection Kit, can be taken over by a remote attacker, who can cause the coffee to be weaker or stronger; change the amount of water per cup; or cause the machine to require service (call this one a DDoC). 'Best yet, the software allows a remote attacker to gain access to the Windows XP system it is running on at the level of the user.' An Internet-enabled, remote-controlled coffee-machine and XP backdoor — what more could a hacker ask for?"

    Insightful? WTF it was a joke.
    You see the comment "I can. I can stop caffeine any time I want to." seemed similar to the alcholic or addict saying "i can quit any time" and the admitting you have a problem line is the cliche answer to that.

    I shouldn't complain, if you want to mod me up go for it. I think maybe there does need to be a sarcasm indicator.

    Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. They should've used the RFC designed especially for this purpose instead.
