Someone nearby has a network-connected fridge.

Seongji is a Korean electronic components manufacturer, so I assume the refrigerator is a Samsung.

The string after [fridge] isn't a model number. Maybe the serial?

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this person doesn't have the fridge on an isolated VLAN.

@voltronic The vendors should be hauled over the coals for unleashing this stuff on an unsuspecting and often network-naïve customer base. Samsung has learned nothing from the email vulnerabilities in their first-gen fridges.

@voltronic I'm gonna guess it's not even joined to a network yet. Which is both hilarious and kinda terrifying

@rizeromn
I would actually bet that it is on a network. Otherwise, why buy one of these more expensive models?

@voltronic @rizeromn if it were joined, you wouldn't see a separate AP from the fridge. Hopefully they require physical access to set it up.

@Dashdrum
Good point, but I can see all my neighbors' Rokus which each appear as a separate AP as well, since the remotes work on WiFi. I also can see nearby printers appearing as their own AP for WiFi Direct printing capability. It's possible that this fridge might have some kind of wifi direct capability as well, though I'm not sure what it would be for.

@rizeromn

@voltronic @Dashdrum Well, I can shed some light, perhaps, but you'll be wanting to bang your head on a wall. I know my roomba uses a similar trick... so you can tell it what network to actually connect to.
