The increasing potential to network-connect one's appliances brings with it a growing susceptibility to Personalised Information Warfare attacks. Existing network enabled computers, mobile phones and personal data appliances have proven to be vulnerable to a wide range of threats. Manufactures are currently supplying the general public with Internet enabled refrigerators, air-conditioners, televisions, video recorders and washing machines that are connected to the home network, consequently moving the threat spectrum for attacks from cyberspace into the home. This paper explores the opportunities for highly targeted Personalised Information Warfare that the explosion of net enabled appliances and emergent broadband technologies currently presents.
