CC3300 smart config sending SSID and passphrase in the clear (2013)

I am pretty sure this qualifies as being too clever by half. It "solves" the problem of an IoT type device that wants to be on your network but not creating its own network so you can tell it what to do.

While I get how it makes it easy for consumers it also makes for an interesting war-driving type hack for people who just record spectrum too.
