Security Flaw Found in Eight Sleep Pods Used by Elon Musk and DOGE Staff

- Eight Sleep pods used by Elon Musk and DOGE staff found to have security flaw
- Active AWS key and remote access discovered in bed's firmware
- Vulnerability could allow hackers to infiltrate home networks and connected devices
- AWS key has been revoked, but incident raises concerns about device security
- Eight Sleep pods offer advanced features like temperature control and sleep tracking
Elon Musk and his staff at DOGE have been using Eight Sleep pods to get some rest at work, but a recent discovery by a security researcher has raised concerns about the safety of these smart beds. The researcher found an active AWS key and a remote backdoor in the bed's firmware, which could give Eight Sleep engineers unrestricted access to customer beds and potentially allow hackers to exploit the vulnerability and gain access to home networks and connected devices. The AWS key has since been revoked, but the incident highlights the importance of prioritizing security in internet-connected devices.
