Peloton Bike+ Bug Gives Hackers Complete Control

The Peloton Bike+ and Peloton Tread exercise equipment contain a security vulnerability that could expose gym users to a wide variety of cyberattacks. An attacker with initial physical access (say, at a gym) could gain root entry to the interactive tablet. The hack works like this: An attacker would simply insert a tiny USB key with a boot image file containing malicious code that grants them remote root access. Gym owners should of course initiate updates as soon as possible, but home users should nonetheless update too.
