Wake Up, Neo
summary
A review of real-world security failures across healthcare, cloud, IoT and automotive: examples include a radiotherapy controller whose shared variables and unit errors led to patient-killing bugs, Firebase misconfigurations exposing 33 million credentials and medical records, 61 million default credentials used in an IoT botnet, and remote vehicle takeovers including Tesla key relay attacks. The talk advocates concrete, measurable defenses: threat modeling and pentests, fixing configurations, tracking breach counts, mandatory security training, automated QA and diversity metrics, and formal escalation when safety or inclusion issues arise.
