Curiosity Killed the Hack
summary
Curiosity fuels concrete exploits: a Flipper Zero (under $200) replicates a car remote and enables a replay attack that starts a Jeep, ATMs get robbed by attackers who glue card readers to force tap transactions, a compromised email plus hours of voice audio enable a $35 million voice‑AI fraud, and misconfigured Amazon Echo devices in hospitals let a developer account impersonate prompts and exfiltrate data. Also covered: accidental parameter pollution that upgraded a subscription, and toy Cayla’s Bluetooth recordings used as a surveillance vector.
