The Internet of Things is upon us, and now you can expect household appliances to spam you for Canadian Pharmacy and Enlarge your manhood.

"Cyber criminals intent on stealing individual identities and infiltrating enterprise IT systems have found a target-rich environment in these poorly protected internet connected devices that may be more attractive and easier to infect and control than PC, laptops, or tablets"

What method can be used to increase security against hacking for TV's Fridges, etc?

P.S. Don't trust those guys selling you anti-viruses for fridges!
