Joystick vs. Joyride: The Man Who Accidentally Hacked Thousands of Vacuums 🤍

View descriptionShare
 

What happens when a DIY tech project goes global? In this clip from Si, Lana & The Breakfast Club, we dive into the bizarre story of a gamer who tried to control his robot vacuum using a gaming controller—and ended up hacking into vacuums all over the world.

We explore the thin line between a clever life-hack and a massive cybersecurity breach. This segment breaks down how a simple gaming peripheral managed to bypass security protocols, giving one man access to a global fleet of autonomous cleaners. Whether you're a tech nerd, a gamer, or just worried about your own smart home devices, this is a fascinating look at the unexpected world of Iot (Internet of Things) security and the "oops" heard 'round the world.
