    It’s possible that it had some vulnerability which was automatically exploited by one of her majesty’s secret services (perhaps with help from their US counterparts) to make it a component of their covert infrastructure.

    Sounds outlandish, but

    this was happening in 2010:

      Or quite simply, hackers scanning for unsecured devices that access the internet and using them to do shit.

            I don’t know I was very put off with his recent comments in the India episode where they spoke about people who sell their families information so scammers can contact them.

            He mentioned how his cousin is homeless and he hasn’t talked to him in years and he was making a joke of the kinds of things he’d likely do to make some money.

            Very weird comment
