YoLink Smart Hub: $20 Gateway to Home Hacking Havoc!
YoLink Smart Hub vulnerabilities let hackers play digital Houdini, sneaking into your home like it’s Black Friday at the mall. For just $20, you get smart control—and potentially a side of cyber chaos. Disconnect it ASAP, or that $20 deal might cost you much more in locksmith fees and therapy sessions.
Hot Take:
In the great tradition of “you get what you pay for,” the $20 YoLink Smart Hub is a bargain in the same way a hole in your boat is a bargain. Sure, it’s cheap, but you might want to invest in a life jacket (or in this case, a security patch) before setting sail on the sea of smart home connectivity. If your smart lock can be hacked for less than the price of a large pizza, it’s time to rethink your menu!
