I don't think they need to be paid, doesn't the term just mean a hacker who does it to expose security flaws so they can be fixed instead of exploited?
A grey hat hacker is in it for the money but looks for the company to pay a bounty first, rather than looking to exploit the vulnerability for illegal gain, as I understand it. Unsolicited opinions on ~Israel~ cybersecurity.
They aren't supposed to be. Apparently they got access to this one via wi-fi through the building's thermostat, if I'm understanding his statement correctly.
They aren't supposed to be on wi-fi period, let alone engaging in two way communication on the wi-fi network.
I hate this trend so much, you have no idea. It's such a bad idea on every level and people are too dumb to be trusted with technology because they keep using this stuff.
Depends. Some shows the writers care enough to check whether the stories they write are possible should the setting permit such realism.
For all the insanity that House M.D. did a lot of the extremely rare and niche conditions that happened were checked as being plausible in the first place, rather than just "HIS SPLEEN EXPLODED BECAUSE OF INTERNET GAS!"
yea, and they have direct access to your thoughts thru a chip implanted in brains from an inoculation
Imagine caring so little about the integrity of elections in the United States that you compare voting machines being hacked as a demonstration in real-time as equivalent to government mind control and dismiss it all as a conspiracy theory.
According to their bio they’re an “anti-fascist”. Welcome to clown world, where caring about the integrity of an election is fascist.
This is only important if we assume that the officials and politicians are interested in the truth instead of ensuring a particular outcome? What evidence is there to date that is the case?
'White Hat' means they're a paid contractor working to find security holes, btw. In case that isn't immediately clear.

"Authorized" would be better than "paid", as not all invitations to find vulnerabilities come with a monetary reward.
Oh right, "grey hat" are good intentioned but unauthorized.

This is the problem with back doors. Other people can use them too. Why are these things physically capable of connecting to the internet?

Everything's connected to the internet, the average person is so stupid they fall for obvious evil schemes....
Wow. We really are living in the Megaman Battle Network timeline.
Hahah holy shit that’s how one of the attacks worked in Mr. Robot. Crazy how life imitates art.

Internet gas is entirely plausible. It travels through internet pipes.
It's not pipes. They're tubes. The Internet. Is made. Of tubes.
The thermostat happened on election night, these people accessed the "polling pad."

True, think of all those fascist Russiagaters
