    Unless your lights are hard-wired or connecting to a locked down guest WiFi network, you are exposing your WiFi credentials to potential attackers.

    The microcontrollers that control Christmas lights are riddled with backdoors and holes.

    That’s probably the real reason that this piece of shit NSA spook wants everyone to have smart Christmas lights.
