IoT and Cybersecurity Padlet by Mahendra Gajula Pothamsetty https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8 en-us 2022-09-05 03:21:32 UTC 2025-10-25 06:35:48 UTC hello@padlet.com A brief overview of IoT magj7729 https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8/wish/2312704806
The phrase "Internet of Things" commonly describes circumstances in which network connectivity and computing capabilities are extended to objects, sensors, and common household goods that are not typically thought of as computers, enabling these devices to generate, trade, and consume data with little to no human intervention.


It is important from a technical, social, and economic standpoint to pay attention to the Internet of Things. The combination of consumer goods, durable goods, vehicles, industrial and utility components, sensors, and other ordinary objects with Internet connectivity and potent data analytics capabilities has the potential to revolutionize the way we work, live, and play. IoT's predicted effects on the Internet and economy are astounding; some estimate that by 2025, there will be up to 100 billion linked IoT devices and a $11 trillion worldwide economic impact.

These include security, privacy, interoperability, and standards.

Security:

Numerous IoT implementations' characteristics pose fresh and original security problems. It must be a top priority to address these issues and guarantee security in IoT goods and services. Inadequately protected data streams on IoT devices and services might act as potential entry points for cyber attacks and expose user data to theft. Because IoT devices are interconnected, every unsecure device that is connected to the Internet has the ability to influence the global security and resilience of the Internet. Other factors include the widespread deployment of uniform IoT devices, the capability of some devices to automatically link to other devices, and the possibility that these devices may be used in unsafe locations all contribute to the difficulty of this problem.

Privacy:

To ensure user trust and confidence in the Internet, connected devices, and related services, privacy rights and respect for user privacy expectations are essential.

Remote recording:
Documents released by WikiLeaks have shown that intelligence agencies know about the existence of zero-day exploits in IoT devices, smartphones, and laptops. These documents imply that security agencies were planning to record public conversations secretly. These zero-day exploits can also be used by cybercriminals to record conversations of IoT users. For instance, a hacker can attack a smart camera in an organization and record video footage of everyday business activities. With this approach, cybercriminals can acquire confidential business information secretly. Such IoT security threats will also lead to major privacy violations.]]> 2022-09-26 02:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8/wish/2312805386 Examples of IOT Cyber Attacks:2 veko4270 https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8/wish/2312810221
Identity and data theft:
Multiple data breaches made headlines in 2018 for compromising the data of millions of people. Confidential information such as personal details, credit and debit card credentials, and email addresses were stolen in these data breaches. Hackers can now attack IoT devices such as smart watches, smart meters, and smart home devices to gain additional data about several users and organizations. By collecting such data, attackers can execute more sophisticated and detailed identity theft.

Mirai botnet has displayed how dangerous IoT security threats can be. The Mirai botnet has infected an estimated 2.5 million devices, including routers, printers, and smart cameras. Attackers used the botnet to launch distributed denial of service attacks on several IoT devices.]]> 2022-09-26 02:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8/wish/2312813903 Examples of IOT Cyber Attacks:4 veko4270 https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8/wish/2312818672
Advanced persistent threats:
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are a major security concern for various organizations. An advanced persistent threat is a targeted cyber attack, where an intruder gains illegal access to a network and stays undetected for a prolonged period of time. Attackers aim to monitor network activity and steal crucial data using advanced persistent threats. Such cyber attacks are difficult to prevent, detect, or mitigate.]]> 2022-09-26 02:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8/wish/2312818672 Examples of IOT Cyber Attacks:5 veko4270 https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8/wish/2312823686 Ransomware:
Ransomware attacks have become one of the most notorious cyber threats. In this attack, a hacker uses malware to encrypt data that may be required for business operations. An attacker will decrypt critical data only after receiving a ransom.]]> 2022-09-26 02:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/magj7729/eyxtava48zce1hs8/wish/2312823686
