Question

Eli5: Is theoretically any device connected to the internet vulnerable to attacks from hackers?

In: Technology

Answer 1

Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Yessssssssssssssss.

But for real any device can be breached if there is access to it and a vulnerability. That could just be an exploit that hasnt been patched or even just a user doing something dumb like setting a password to “password”. It extends beyond just internet connected devices. Open Bluetooth? If someone is in range they might get into it.
