It’s going to be a growing issue, and most owners won’t even realise that their fancy TV or fridge needs security patches. Maybe this should be similar to consumer law? Require manufacturers/resellers to guarantee security updates for x number of years?

Do you really need a smart fridge, though? Technology is always going to be vulnerable, so the best solution is to just buy a normal fridge. Even if we assumed it was perfectly secure, it's probably spying on you for Facebook and Google.

Personally, no. I’m perfectly happy with dumb appliances that do the job when I press the button or set a timer. I don’t need an Internet connection to keep milk and sausages chilled.

Exactly. I'm considered the "techie" in my family, but even I draw the line somewhere.
