Did they detail if they heard anything back from Atmel? Or did they reach out to the Zigbee alliance? I'm reading through the paper and haven't found it yet. Only that they heard from Philips.

This is also why you're starting to see more and more devices opt to a completely device to cloud infrastructure instead of local communication. More control of the stack on device and in the air.

This too is not immune. I get it here too.

Well, the HTML contains some very shady (encoded and obfuscated) JavaScript code.

If you want to investigate further replace the "return r;" in the very end of those two "evals" with "console.log(r);" then get the decoded code from the browser's console. Then run through code beautifier (built-in in Firefox JS debugger) to get readable code. But there are more code obfuscations later, though easy to reverse but I don't have the time right now.

Clearly, absolutely no one saw this coming, nor did anyone warn us. :-) How else do you explain how woefully unprepared we are?

It's a little hard to distinguish worthwhile warnings from the near-constant din of finger-wagging

Exactly, for as many legitimate problems I see posted I usually see double as mean fear-mongering stories.
