A security researcher has demonstrated how to hack into a kettle and steal a home's Wi-Fi password, The Register reports.
Munro was able to research where iKettle customers live, and could use a special antenna to take over a kettle.
It would only take around four hours to crack the kettle's password, and then he could control the kettle, and also find the home's Wi-Fi password.

The Android iKettle app is the biggest security flaw, since it keeps the kettle's password as the default value. But the iOS version of the app sets a six-digit code that can still be broken into.
