Wi-Fi light bulbs in security alert over wireless blackout hack

A high-profile ‘connected’ lighting system had a critical vulnerability which allowed attackers to take control of the entire system, switching off its Wi-Fi light bulbs at will, and which could be executed by criminals within 100 feet of a home, according to specialist security firm Context.
Context found the vulnerability in the LiFX system, a well-known Kickstarter-funded lighting system where a network of Wi-Fi light bulbs can be controlled via smartphone app.
