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.

The correct answer is, no. We can't perpetuate the stupidity that is 'because we can'. we already suffer for the complete lack of wisdom dealing with our current level of technological 'progress'.
