Tucker Carlson was shocked when a hacker turned an ordinary light bulb into a device capable of spying on a Wi-Fi network.
Ryan Montgomery: He took a regular bulb off of Amazon, it’s called uh Wyze. Like, and then he made a bunch of different ones. So, like you could buy this smart bulb on Amazon and make it change colors. Essentially, all that it does.
Tucker Carlson: And I can communicate with that light bulb from afar?
Ryan Montgomery: Um, in in this this bulb, no, I have to you have to be within Wi-Fi range. There are other devices, they are implants that you could, at a distance, with SIM cards or or other means. Um, or if they’re plugged directly into the back of a computer, you know, like I do have one of those in my bag that you would never know, you would never unplug it because it looks like it’s it’s supposed to be there. That one connects, you know, I could be in Guatemala, and I can have complete control over that device from Guatemala.
