Researchers at IOActive found a series of vulnerabilities in the WeMo home automation products built by Belkin that enable them to gain remote control of connected devices. The vulnerabilities relate to the way that WeMo pushes out firmware updates and implements the GPG encryption scheme. Belkin issued a statement on Tuesday, saying it had fixed the most recent firmware update. The WeMo products include sockets, light switches, motion sensors and Web cams, allow users to connect to their monitored devices from a mobile device.
