On the other hand, the security
vulnerabilities (privacy, sabotage, denial of
service) with the constant hacking of high-
profile targets keeps this danger constantly
in the back of our minds. For instance, the
significances of sabotage could be far
more thoughtful than a compromise of
privacy. For instance, altering the mix ratio
of decontaminators at a water treatment
plant or stopping the climatization
system at a nuclear power plant could
theoretically place a whole city in instant
hazard. Additionally, the determinism
of the network, the lack of a common
standardization and the continuous
fragmentation in the implementation of
IoT will decrease the value and increase
the cost to the end users.
