I didn't see a mention of any actual items... just "Bluetooth default password" this and "open WiFi" that. Most people don't know what the hell that stuff means. Smarter move (but a possibly legal entanglement) would have been to mention specific items. Especially since the blog is posted over at McAfee.
 
Hey cool, my sisters Grumpy Cat cant be hacked.
 
Shitty article Intel blogger.

"Smartphones will be hackable... kids toys... wearables like fitness trackers..."

Tell me something I don't know. Was hoping there would be a breakdown of the security flaws of specific devices but its just some jackass saying "Things are hackable". No shit Einstein.
