A hacker ran me over with a robot lawn mower

I'm lying in the dirt. It's coming for me. Then, with a lurch, it's climbing up my chest. If Andreas Makris doesn't stop the 200-pound robot lawn mower in time, it could drag its blades across my body.

Makris certainly can't reach over and hit the emergency stop button - he's nearly 6,000 miles away, having hacked this robot from the other side of the planet, to demonstrate the gaping security holes in Yarbo's robot lawn mowers.
