Thanks to IoT technology, gadgets, home appliances and even cars are getting smarter, but obviously they are not smart enough to resist cyber attacks.
Recently, white-hat hackers working on cyber security research discovered a security vulnerability in the Samsung Smart Refrigerator (model RF28HMELBSR), which allows hackers to steal Google Chrome accounts by intercepting the communication between the refrigerator and Google Calendar. The Samsung smart refrigerator has a touch screen on the front door and built-in WIFI function. It can connect to the Internet to obtain weather forecasts, play network videos, music and even make Internet calls in real time, focusing on the concept of kitchen multimedia.
Internet of Things security needs to be improved
In fact, not only Samsung, there are many security vulnerabilities in many IoT devices in the market, and manufacturers are in urgent need of improvement and repair. At the recent DEF CON hacking conference in Las Vegas, USA, security researchers and white-hat hackers discovered 25 vulnerable Internet of Things products, including kitchen scales, coffee makers, wireless cameras, and smart door locks. , smart Hub, and more.
Generally speaking, as long as hackers can break into the WIFI network and enter the home LAN environment, they can discover the existence of a vulnerable Internet of Things product to achieve intrusion, attack or steal information. Previously, the hacking of baby monitors and the shackles of babies have caused a stir, and more and more users are worried about the smart devices in their homes, but will become the entrance to hackers.
As for how to improve this problem, the current lack of uniform standards in the Internet of Things is a major obstacle. Vendors are committed to developing their own standards, and it is inevitable to ignore some software vulnerabilities. Of course, many security companies are beginning to pay attention to this issue. For example, Symantec has introduced embedded security solutions. Intelligent routers that add IoT product management functions have gradually gained market attention. For the average user, the most basic precaution is to ensure that the wireless router uses WAP password authentication and changes the default password of the management account.
