Episode Description: 
As computer chips and network connections make their way into more and more common household items, gadgets and appliances, the risk of someone hacking into those systems is on the rise, as well. In this episode, we talk with Yoshi Kohno, an associate professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington, about the growing threat of hackers in this new networked world. But it's not just someone taking over your toy robot that you need to worry about.
