My smart fridge tried to order 12 gallons of milk because it thought my grocery app was hacked
It took me three days to figure out the 'security alert' emails were real and not some weird spam, since the fridge kept resetting its own Wi-Fi (you know, like a guilty dog). I had to call the appliance company's support line, wait on hold for 47 minutes, and finally get a human to walk me through revoking its shopping permissions. Has anyone else's supposedly helpful gadget gone completely rogue over a data glitch?
