Here's a thought to make you really miserable this Christmas; if someone gives a piece of smart technology you could find that it's recruited as an accessory to cyber crime. And that could be anything from a phone to an internet connected toaster. The warning comes from cyber security expert Professor Alan Woodward at the University of Surrey. The 91福利社's Alex Ritson asked him to explain exactly how a toaster could be used in a cyber attack.
