"83,000 robots researchers found exposed to the public internet,"
Seriously WTF?
Who in their right minds would think this is a good idea?
The answer is probably they thought it was a convenient idea, which is of course much better.
Backed up with a big dose of "Well no on knows it's there and if they find it they won't realize it's a big old robot that lift half a tonne and swing it through several metres so where's the harm?"
