For all those IOT fans out there, here is an interesting reading:
More IoT insecurity: the routers that take instructions from anyone
Free is never free. Your free e-mail, free router that your cable company provides or even a paid Google NEST home temperature control device. Sure it does provide you convenience and save you a few bucks.. But what are you losing? A lot; come to think of it.. What you communicate and plan – everything is available to companies that benefit from selling you a service, big data now can analyze vast amounts of data and once they have it; you as a consumer don’t have any leverage.. the companies that have your data that you willingly provided (may be unknowingly) have all the edge.. an internet bargain you intend to get will never be there, because you don’t have the leverage any more once you have already provided your intentions may be in an innocent looking e-mail to your family or a Facebook post about your vacation plans 🙂
Start taking control of your data using a Patriot PS Personal Server (http://www.pexus.com/patriotps) and even replace your cable company provided free router with your own and put a freely available firewall IP COP (http://www.ipcop.org/) and shut off the cable company control of your home network.
Consult with Pexus LLC (sales@pexus.com) how we can help you set up a secure personal server solution in your own home and start taking control of your personal data.
