Hack my Coffee?




This could be the funniest security vulnerability ever! I read about how a new coffee machine that can be hooked up to your computer has a buffer overflow vulnerability that can allow a hacker to take control of the application that controls the coffee machine on Trend Micro's Website.
Imagine waking up in the morning to the horror of getting black coffee without out sugar when you programmed your machine for white coffee with 2 sugars!

Oh what a crazy world we live in! :P
