While we wait for Google I/O (which starts tomorrow) to find out what will happen to the company's TV platform, a team we've seen unlock Google TV, Chromecast, and Roku has a new goal.
GTVHacker just revealed an exploit for the (now Google) Nest Learning Thermostat. The exploit could allow owners to do new and interesting things (like replace the Nest software entirely), but of course, someone with bad intentions could go in another direction: monitor whether the owner is home via the motion detector, record network traffic, or simply raise the temperature a few degrees – all without even turning on the device.
