Kent Pitman<p>Yikes, from an article that contains a lot more detail, but just to get your attention as to the impact part:</p><p>«The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains undocumented commands that could be leveraged for attacks.</p><p>The undocumented commands allow spoofing of trusted devices, unauthorized data access, pivoting to other devices on the network, and potentially establishing long-term persistence.</p><p>…</p><p>"Exploitation of this backdoor would allow hostile actors to conduct impersonation attacks and permanently infect sensitive devices such as mobile phones, computers, smart locks or medical equipment by bypassing code audit controls."</p><p>The researchers warned that ESP32 is one of the world's most widely used chips for Wi-Fi + Bluetooth connectivity in IoT (Internet of Things) devices, so the risk is significant.»</p><p>People worried about this topic might also "enjoy" the recent Netflix series Zero Day.</p><p>And not to get too far afield, but hopefully it also didn't escape notice that there have been broad firings of qualified people in the US government for reasons related not to their technical skill or ability to protect our nation from issues like this, but because of irrelevant details of their private lives or personal leanings on issues of having fair and competent government, helping the needy, defending individual human freedom and dignity, or avoiding mass death in myriad ever-more-likely ways.</p><p><a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/undocumented-commands-found-in-bluetooth-chip-used-by-a-billion-devices/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu</span><span class="invisible">rity/undocumented-commands-found-in-bluetooth-chip-used-by-a-billion-devices/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlueTooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlueTooth</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WiFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WiFi</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TechNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechNews</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/vulnerability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vulnerability</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/IoT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IoT</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/InternetOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetOfThings</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trust</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/networks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>networks</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/phones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phones</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CellPhones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CellPhones</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BackDoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BackDoor</span></a></p>

Colin Cogle :verified:<p>I got tired of going outside and looking at the thermometer, so I got a digital weather station off Temu.</p><p>But then I got too lazy to walk to the refrigerator to read the base station’s display, so I hacked together a way to connect it to the Internet. Okay, so that’s not the main reason. I did it because I wanted a fancy APRS-enabled weather station without the price tag, so in the spirit of ham radio and hacking, I set out to build my own. </p><p>Then I hooked it up to Mastodon as <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/@weather" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>weather</span></a></span> because… okay, I don’t have a good reason for that.</p><p><a href="https://colincogle.name/blog/byo-weather-station" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">colincogle.name/blog/byo-weath</span><span class="invisible">er-station</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APRS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hacking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/IoT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IoT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/InternetOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetOfThings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/PowerShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PowerShell</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/RTLSDR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RTLSDR</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/tutorials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tutorials</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.colincogle.name/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a></p>
