But where's the attack vector?

I assume this would require malicious code to be installed on a device in order to leverage the internal multitasking? Not defending weak security practices in the Android environment, just curious.

By the way thumbs down for 'cyber' as a collective noun, just doesn't feel right.

How about a skynet of flaws? ROTM and all that, might work particularly well in an IOT context? Conveys a sense of impending menace as we surrender bit by silicon-hewn bit to our robot overlords
