    Four Security Issues in IoT

    Apac CIO Outlook | Thursday, January 21, 2021

    Most IoT users do not know if their device has been hacked. With a large scale of IoT devices, it becomes challenging to manage all of them, even for service providers.

    Fremont, CA: The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most popular technologies in the age of digital transformation. It is the underlying system behind smart homes, self-driving cars, smart utility meters, and smart cities.

    Although IoT systems offer a broad range of advantages, the concern for IoT security also arises. Here are four security issues in IoT:

    Use of Weak and Default Credentials

    Most IoT companies sell products and provide consumers with default credentials such as an admin username. Hackers only need the username and password to attack the device, such as brute-force attacks to infect the devices.

    Outdated Hardware and Software

    Manufacturers of IoT devices aim to create new ones as their demand increases. However, they are not paying attention to security. Many of these devices either do not have enough updates or no updates at all. This means the products are secure when purchased but becomes susceptible to attacks and breaches when hackers find bugs or security issues.

    Hard to Find if a Device is Affected

    Most IoT users do not know if their device has been hacked. With a large scale of IoT devices, it becomes challenging to manage all of them, even for service providers.

    An IoT device needs applications, services, and protocols for communication. And since most devices is gradually increasing, the number of products that need to be handles increases. Therefore, many devices operate without users knowing that it has been hacked.

    Malware and Ransomware

    The increased progression of IoT products will make the characteristic of cyberattacks uncertain. Cybercriminals have become advanced and, as such, lockout consumers from their own devices.
