A Miele commercial dishwasher can apparently be hacked very simply using the old directory-traversal trick.

This appliance includes an embedded web server so it can be controlled from a browser, and that brings to mind the thought that many IOT devices must do so.  So how are they secured?  Is China even now working out how they can disrupt life as we know it by disabling pub dishwashers?
