One bathroom scale to rule them all: hacking millions of scales via SQLi and UART to tell your story. ⚖️🛠️👾🔓👨🏻‍💻

Security researcher and author Eugene Lim presented his new research on smart weighing machines earlier this year. Using a mobile application, FCC documentation, and hardware hacking skills, he was able to pair with and control millions of devices worldwide.

Another interesting finding is that brand names don’t matter anymore: dozens of different brands actually come from the same factory, running the same firmware and backend servers.

Quite an impressive journey - from the gym to a full-on hardware hacking project!
