Someone in the White House “probably installed a sketchy free app on their phone"

And that’s the White House. I wonder how many situations there are out there where hardened-toward-the-Internet, squishy-on-the-inside home networks have some random kid with an Android phone or something punching holes to let any number of unsavory characters onto the LAN.

Based off how common this scenario was a decade ago in corporate environments with millions to be lost, I’m going to guess more than 50% of networks have had one, if not a few in the last year alone.
