Have been reading more and more stories of "Internet of Things" devices being compromised and being used as part of BotNets to take down adversaries.

'To Krebs, the incident highlights the dangers to free speech in the modern era. It's not just that it's relatively trivial to mount a censorship campaign, it's that the cost of defending yourself against that campaign can be prohibitive.'
I was curious what some more educated people on the subject have to say.
Does this highlight some of the dangers we are exposing ourselves to with autonomous vehicles? (Are our Refridgerators attacking our local foodstore to get us to goto walmart?)...
Also, with recent advancements of photon transportation, will this become less of an issue?
I'm sure I could of laid this out better. Peace.
