Testimony: There’s No Internet of Things Risk in Repair

Testimony from Paul Roberts urging support for New Hampshire's HB 462 (right-to-repair). Roberts argues that allowing owners and independent repair professionals access to parts, tools, and documentation will not make Internet of Things devices less secure; rather, he contends that security failures stem from manufacturers shipping devices with insecure defaults and unpatched software (citing the Mirai botnet) and that right-to-repair can help extend device lifespans and improve security management.
