EA Hack Leads To Over 700GB Of Data Stolen, Including FIFA 21 Source Code - Couldn't have happened to a more deserving company

Nobody is interested in robbing Konami, Konami is boring.

Konami is a lolcow of a company, there have got to be hilarious internal emails archived somewhere.

A few years back there was an issue with sets from one of the smart tv manufacturers, if it couldn't get an internet connection on your wifi, it would automatically attempt to connect to any open network it could find so it could send data. I could see that coming back as a feature, they'd market it as some kind of "we make sure your television is always connected to ensure that you always have access to all your smart features."

So it would make more sense to create an internal network for your home, where the devices can connect the a router but the router has no connection to the actual Internet.
Considering the future, I guess it can't be wrong to delve a bit into computer-science to mitigate some of this shit. After all, many of the cooperations seem to target the fact many of their customers (and the majority of people nowadays) don't know/care how anything they build let alone the Internet work.

That was the issue, they would connect to your wifi, but if they didn't get internet access through that they'd disconnect and go out trying to connect to any available open wireless networks. I want to say it was LG or Vizio, but I can't remember which manufacturer it was. Nowadays it seems like most networks I see are secure, but with companies like Amazon trying to do that with their whole sidewalk thing they pushed out a week ago I could see it becoming a thing again.
