Potential Vacuum Attack?

From Mary Brown | October 8th, 2009

Robert McMillan writes about the possibilities of a robot inside your home being used as an attack point by a hacker.  He suggests that it would be prudent to get ahead of the curve and learn from the past.  Too often the IT industry develops technologies and then waits to see how they can be misused before actually doing something to prevent it.   Do you think the IT industry has learned their collective lesson and have begun to understand the need to design with security in mind?
