Overview: What Makes An IoT Device Vulnerable? TheInternet of Things (IoT)is increasingly permeating modern society, from end-users to enterprises and industrial usage. The rapid growth in connected IoT devices creates many possibilities, but it also introduces significant cybersecurity risks. ...
Exploited service vulnerabilities in IoT devices may allow for stealthy malware services such as viruses, spyware, ransomware, and Trojans. Cybercriminals may use these open-port services to access sensitive data, listen to private communications, or execute Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Man-in-the-...
The general public has little to no control over how well the manufacturers implement security measures in their IoT devices. Despite this, there are a few vulnerabilities that the consumer can take into consideration that will allow them to make a more informed buying decision. Lack of Security...
Hackers found 47 new vulnerabilities in 23 IoT devices at DEF CONCSO Online
Microsoft’s Section 52, the Azure Defender for IoT security research group, recently uncovered a series of critical memory allocation vulnerabilities in IoT and OT devices that adversaries could exploit to bypass security controls in order to e...
The findings underscore how OT networks could be put at risk by making IIoT devices directly accessible on the internet, effectively creating a "single point of failure" that can bypass all security protections. Alternatively, local attackers can break into industrial Wi-Fi access points and cellul...
IoT devices are vulnerable largely because these devices lack the necessary built-in security to counter threats. Aside from the technical aspects, users also contribute to the devices’ vulnerability to threats. Here are some of the reasons these smart devices remain vulnerable: ...
IoT and industrial internet of things (IIoT) devices need lightweight network components to save their computing power; but problems with third-party network communication software have been plaguing the landscape for years. In 2018, 13 bugs in the FreeRTOS TCP/IP stack put ...
