Half-baked security: Hackers can hijack your smart Aga oven 'with a text message' • The Register
'Miscreants can remotely turn off and on posh Aga ovens via unauthenticated text messages, security researchers have warned. '
'"A Wi-Fi module done right, with a conventional mobile app and API, is unlikely to have cost them much more to develop."'
'You can exploit this and a similar shortcoming that enumerates owners by their email addresses to, over time by brute force, build up a list of known Aga mobile phone numbers. ', "The issues discovered by PTP in Aga's ovens add to a growing list of kitchen-related IoT security failings – from insecure kettles to pwnable industrial dishwashers used in hospitals and restaurants."
'The vulnerable iTotal Control models of the upmarket cookers contain a SIM card and radio tech that connects to mobile phone networks. '

I'm trying to figure out why the oven is on the internet or open to the phones? generally speaking it is a bad idea to use cooking devices when not at home, so that is a stupid justification. The only other one I have is so you can preheat the oven without getting off the sofa, but really preheating works well while you are prepping whatever you are going to put in the oven. If it is a way to let you know the timer on the over is going off, just have it shut off the oven and putting in a bigger speaker seems an easier and cheaper solution.
