Insecure Internet of Things (IoT) devices are potentially putting society as a whole at risk from cyberattacks because cyber criminals are able to exploit these common products that haven’t been designed with any form of security in mind.
IoT products have become a staple in many homes and places of work because they’re perceived as helpful to everyday life.
However, many IoT devices get installed onto networks without proper security procedures in place, either because the user isn’t aware of how to boost the security of the device – for example, by changing the password – or the device doesn’t come with a password or options for securing it at all.
