    I’m not sure how do Hue lights work, but if they have any Wi-Fi component they’re essentially a device in your network. If compromised (by a hacker or by Philips themselves) they’re no different than a device next to yours on public Wi-Fi. Someone will definitely have a desktop PC with vPro with default credentials, or once in a while someone will log into something using HTTP without the S and leak plaintext credentials.

    People more well versed in networking often put their IoT devices in a separate network/VLAN so that they are all lumped together and away from personal PCs.

    Hell, I even block my ISP-issued modem/router/AP from ever getting an IP address on my network, and that way I can’t even receive tech support from them lmao
