Lame,
The Garmin hack has had zero effect on me, no different than a CC processor being hacked, annoying yes, the potential for bad emails, not much else.
My Garmin app is not spying on me any more than I let it, and we know Apps are recording what we do, that is the first assumption. I can talk about Truly Gay Sodas in a bar and have a Truly ad on my phone the next minute, so spare me the bullshit.
Sure the Kestrel is a closed system, but that doesn't mean someone can't hack into the Kestrel App and cause a problem or the company proper.
This is top-level stuff, not end-user, the Hack Garmin received can happen here, kestrel, anywhere... they targeted the company for $10M, not the individual user.
What is being described is as if the Garmin hack is inserting ransomware on our stuff, NOT happening. So my inbox has extra spam this morning cause they scrapped some email addresses, block it, and move on.
