My smart fridge in Seattle tried to email a Nigerian prince from my work account last Tuesday.

I was making coffee when my phone buzzed with a login alert from Lagos, and after a panicked hour of password resets, I traced it back to a default admin password on my new internet-connected appliance. Has anyone else had a random device on their home network go rogue?

A default password on a fridge is just wild.
