According to ChainCatcher, Dark Bio founder and former Ethereum Go client lead Péter Szilágyi, also known as Karalabe, urged people with connected smart devices to disconnect them from the internet immediately. He advised unplugging Ethernet cables and disconnecting devices from Wi-Fi; if a device cannot be disconnected, he said users should stop using it.
Szilágyi said a storm was coming and the situation would be unsettling, calling it a reckoning for decades of neglect in the Internet of Things. He led Go Ethereum from 2015 to 2025 and has founded Dark Bio, a personal health data analytics platform.
