22 days agoDoes this also apply when not using the official app? I recently bought a Phillips bulb (not Hue) and set up Home Assistant for it, along with the Matter bridge. This turned out to also connect it to the Wi-Fi, but I never installed a manufacturer app.
Would blocking internet access via parental controls on the router be enough to mitigate such threats, or is its mere presence in an internet-connected network dangerous?
You don’t. You see, Nintendo encrypts their games and basically outlaws any way to access decryption keys from your own console. In your proposal you don’t even own a Switch to lawfully or unlawfully obtain the keys from, meaning that you’ll 100% have to acquire those “illegally”.
Not that I care for the record
