At the Hacker Oscars: An Award for Junk Hacking

The Security Ledger article announces that the Pwnie Awards will add a "Best Junk Hack" category for 2016 to recognize creative or needlessly sophisticated attacks against Internet-enabled consumer "things." It describes the award's intent, lists notable judges (including Justine Bone, Charlie Miller, and Chris Valasek), explains the nomination process and deadlines, and frames the category as both a humorous and informative look at IoT security research rather than coverage of any specific incident.
