Wolf nipple chips writes "According to Craig Wright at securityfocus, the Jura F90 Coffee maker with its honest-to-God Jura Internet Connection Kit allows a remote coffee machine "engineer" to:
  • "Change the preset coffee settings (make weak or strong coffee)
  • Change the amount of water per cup (say 300ml for a short black) and make a puddle
  • Break it by engineering settings that are not compatible (and making it require a service)
[...] Best yet, the software allows a remote attacker to gain access to the Windows XP system it is running on at the level of the user."

An Internet-enabled, remote-controled coffee-machine and XP backdoor, what more could a hacker want?"
