The "story" such that it is doesn't go much deeper than the Slashdot summary. It would be nice if there was a more tasty tease to watch the film, such as the perp used the phone to run some sort of huge prostitution business or a huge drug ring or maybe some sort of Islamic terrorism.
Given that there is no such tease, we can assume the perp used it to call his grandma now and then in some faraway place.
I worked for a tech firm that was run by a lawyer; when the shit hit the fan during the dotcom meltdown, we found out the only ass that was covered was his. While we were scrambling to find new jobs & pay bills, he went off to head up some board filled with other cunts like himself.
In other words while you were looking for a new job, he did the same, and found one.
Normally, when two galaxies collide, the supermassive black holes at their centers start to orbit one another, moving closer and closer together in an inescapable gravitational attraction.
Couldn't he at least registered a domain like "TeslaHolding.com" or something? Sad. And, like AOL email, I didn't know anyone still used Yahoo email...
1. Similar domain names have been a scam vector for so many years, if Bleep Whatever is so popular as to attract the ire of these assholes, maybe they should have been proactive years ago and bought up those domains? It's not a huge cost.
2. To be honest, I've never heard of either of these to groups, though the Scam Wear folks seem to be on a suicide mission. On the other hand, when Bleep Whatever vanquishes them, they will just show up under a different brand.
Modern as in:new" ones certainly are, and the communications between the "switch" is today more often than not just a little tiny bit more than On/Off...
In the worst case, they could just unscrew the wires from the thermostat and clip the bare ends together with a clothespin to turn on the furnace. That would at least keep the pipes from freezing and cost $0.
"Smart" thermostats ofter communicate with the furnace / cooling via a cat-6 or some other type of communications cable, they are rarly just a switch. On the other hand, you can often buy them at Home Depot / Lowes, and just install a new one yourself and then maybe reset the old one to factory.
I imagine a judge's personal computer habits are wonderful places to score data regarding blackmail material, pending judgements for buying and shorting stocks, etc.
Many in the Judicial refuse to use the Intertubes at all.

Pay a small fine and get a CEO job somewhere else.
After a federal grand jury indictment? Probably not...
Calculators from Texas, eh? Wonder if they were functional and hit the "grey market"...

"Hey! I think I'll ask Slashdot! All these IT pros will have the solution!"
"What a bunch of assholes..."
The maintenance building where I live was bugled through a whole punched in a wall... They didn't bother with the door and the nice lock on it.
I suggest a table and chair, and a bookcase. Situate the table and chair such that you can gaze out a window.
Pretty much, I put in the same hours I do when I'm home.
As I write this, I am in an apartment my wife and I rented in Rome for a month. I put in a few hours every day.
Like many of the proclamations from the UN, such a ban will have little influence over the development and use of "killer robots".
There IS technology there.
My father was an oceanographer in the 1970's who dropped current meters into the ocean all over the world.
The Russians would collect them all the time and dissect them.
There be chips and instruments and all sorts of thingies in them there things, and not all of it is "off the shelf".
Yes, but nobody will go to your blog because it's not Instagram. Actually, nobody will go to your Instagram or Twitter either, so I guess it's a wash.

Why does Slashdot allow "special" characters in submitted stories when they don't display correctly in the summaries?
I haven't noticed this kind of problem with my iPhone 5S...
The beginning of the end. Make a lot of cash on the IPO, cash-out to ???
Is this a sponsored story?

That's how I met my girlfriend.
You added "THINK OF THE CHILDREN". I own a patent on that. What's a good time for my people to stop by?
Who edited and proof-read this summary? Oh, wait, nevermind...

So, 13 years ago they were using some funky secure chat program...
And?
