A directory traversal bug has been found in a Miele dishwasher. This allows access to arbitrary files on the dishwasher's Web server from unauthenticated users. It has been questioned whether appliance makers should be the ones connecting things to networks, since their lack of experience means there isn't even an official channel to report or fix security bugs. Miele are yet to comment.

    This is a secret plan by Dr. Wily and the WWW to infiltrate all of networked society and destroy the world. Luckily I know exactly how to deal with this little pest: Bubbleman.exe hides behind a rock, but if you can break it and area-lock him with a couple of AreaGrab or MetaGel1 chips he's a sitting duck. Just get right up in his face and unload any sword-type chips you've got. It's even better if you have an Elec style on as your charge shot will stunlock him!
