Internet of things devices as a gateway to information security attacks

In the cyber attack on Dyn, two Internet providers in the United States were hit by cyber attacks, and many well-known websites were unable to land for a time, claiming that half of the US internet was paralyzed. After the investigation showed that the enterprise other security system does not have obvious breach of the traces, and in the restoration of the entire attack was discovered that hackers use the virus to infect IoT devices, and then take advantage of the network attacks launched by these devices.

The number of IoT devices infected with the virus in this network attack is 100,000, including webcams. The main reason is that these Internet access devices have a large number of loopholes, some of the vulnerabilities are system-wide vulnerability, easy to be controlled, and then as the intrusion of the entire information system entrance, can be described as hundred dense and sparse.

Today's IoT devices are mostly bare-headed, defenseless and vulnerable to attackers.

For example, in order to detect the noise of an air conditioner to improve the product, a manufacturer has installed sound-collecting equipment in the air-conditioning system, which can return many decibels of air-conditioning. But it is such a equipment, soon by the external security experts found the loophole, only need to slightly subtotal, you can turn it into a "bug." When every air conditioner can turn into a bug, think about how scary it is?

Security Crisis of IoT devices

Many people now buy sweeping robots in their homes, all of which have microphones, cameras and other devices that also need to be connected to the network, which is equivalent to a potential monitoring device. Once attacked, family privacy is nowhere to be hid. And for smart sockets, it is possible to become a security risk. Experts said that the current smart socket security loopholes are more, if hacked to use, light can create a number of users without reason power off, heavy can let the socket overload heat, become the "murder weapon", and your personal account information in the process of attackers to disclose.

for Tesla, though its security team is strong enough, it is still compromised. It can be imagined that if a hacker can remotely control a smart car, it will be a terrible thing for the owner. In recent years, Tesla's security incident news has also caused a new era of intelligent devices to be haunted.

A bare-headed smart device that could endanger your personal safety

PC and mobile device vulnerabilities, the most is to seek wealth, the occurrence of information leakage. But the vulnerability of the internet of things, it is possible to lethal, is to endanger personal safety. Most of the enterprises currently producing IoT devices do not have enough information security awareness, and most of the equipment produced is originated from an operating system architecture, and these standardized devices and systems are the attackers ' favorite targets.

So, as consumers, how do we deal with these potentially "naked" smart devices? Colis's security experts say there is little that consumers can do to secure the internet of things. Unlike computers, mobile phones and other devices with sophisticated security measures such as downloading anti-virus software, intelligent hardware can not form an interaction. for this reason, for those security issues that may arise, IoT device vendors must start from the root cause and improve the information security of smart devices to reduce the risk of information security from the outside. At the national level, it is necessary to define the security responsibility of intelligent hardware manufacturers by changing rules and enacting laws, especially for privacy, reasonable , lawful use and safekeeping. This is also an effective way to push manufacturers to invest in safety costs and prevent the associated risks they may generate.
