Don’t hassle the Hoff…

December 14, 2007

Okay, so I’ve been seriously remiss in posting for, oh, say the last six months, but I couldn’t resist mentioning this one.

Recently, Mogull posted an article on Dark Reading decrying the nature of security predictions. Shortly after writing the article, and while out of the country, Rich’s house automation went crazy.

Well, Hoff took umbrage to the article, and decided to make one of his own predictions come true… and owned Mogull’s house.

Hats off to the Hoff… and to Mogull for showing us all that even the most security aware of us can get owned.

(Of course, it’s always easier to get pwned by somebody who can drop you an email and ask you to collaborate on something, but that’s a topic for another post…)

    Mogull: What?

    Me: Ho
