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.

There is no pride in your product these days--only net profit matters.
In the race to the bottom that is late stage, global capitalism, only by making ever shoddier goods (no corner to cheap to cut) can you keep profits growing.
