Re: Hey, really neat!

That's what I thought too. Though router or IoT DNS setting change (poisoning), which can be done by websites to MANY routers that have default setttings ...

I am expecting MS Windows & Apple Mac Auto updates to be hijacked either by DNS hijack or server hacks, periodically.

This is a stupid idea. The problem isn't distribution, or even the developers, it's the management of the companies selling the stuff. How many will stay in business to release patches? Who other than the original manufacture and development team can create the the patches.

It's beyond stupid, but delusional dangerous fantasy!
