I'm currently taking a number of Udemy beginner courses on hacking and cybersecurity, so I only understand some of the technical details in this article, but I do understand the core concept: Amazon Sidewalk, and similar technologies leave your wi-fi network wide open to neighbors but also potential hackers, which not only makes *your* network and your personal information vulnerable to attack, but all the *other* networks you are connected to, such as your work network, health network, and your kids's school network.
The Covid-19 has had a parallel affect on the world's cyberhealth as it has on our physical health: one individua becoming infected can easily spread to many becoming infected, and we need to become more conscious of how connected we all are now.

Also: I'm very sad to hear about the denial of service attack on the Boston Public Library. I realize that nothing is sacred in this world, but somehow, I do still think of libraries as sacred, because they always were a refuge to me when I was a child, and desperately needed a refuge, and for this to occur during a pandemic, when so many people desperately need the services and joys that libraries can offer...I won't even dignify that kind of destruction by calling those people hackers. I just want to send out a thank you to all the people who worked so hard to get the BPL up and running again.
