    Yeah, most smart devices these days use some variant of an embedded Linux OS. This won't be the last time we hear of something like this...

    Fortunately, as noted in the article, these smart video devices are generally behind a router/firewall...the only people who might realistically be subject to attack at this point would be those who don't have proper protection on their wireless network. Folks, WPA2 /AES + a non-dictionary, long password if you care...
