    Remember, the “s” in IoT stands for “security”.

    I could completely see this email address being a shared email address and not tied to a single user.

      I’m 90% sure it is not a single user. I just don’t see how that really affects the security of the product, given that the company that sells it can already do the things the author is saying can be done if you have this key.

      To be clear, I wouldn’t buy this. I just don’t think the SSH key makes it any worse than it already was

        Would you rather one person have access to your device / data to potentially perform malicious actions or multiple people access to your device / data to potentially perform malicious actions?

        And if you tell me multiple people, you’re full of it.
