This Security Ledger podcast article profiles Kytch co-founders Jeremy O’Sullivan and Melissa Nelson, their attempt to improve the reliability of Taylor ice cream machines, and the subsequent lawsuit against Taylor and a McDonald’s franchisee; the story is presented as a cautionary example of IoT security, vendor lock-in, and the risks of software-enforced monopolies rather than a technical incident report.
