HOW TO HACK AN EIGHT SLEEP SMART MATTRESS “POD”

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Security researcher Dylan Ayrey identified three key vulnerabilities in Eight Sleep's "Pod" mattress: a developer backdoor for SSH access, an exposed AWS key, and dependence on cloud services. He replaced the $4,700 hub with a $150 aquarium chiller, demonstrating a simpler solution for temperature control that avoided data collection and internet access, instead of relying on a $200-300 annual subscription.
