Study Says Internet of Things Is As Insecure As Ever by Lily Hay Newman
From the post:
We already know that Internet of Things devices tend to have vulnerabilities, and there have been some efforts to establish guidelines for creating a more secure environment. But a new study from Symantec, the company that makes Norton AntiVirus, says that your smart-home devices could be “giving away the keys to your kingdom.”
Great graphic right!?
Except that Symantec forgets to tell you that all software vendors, including Symantec, are shipping buggy code.
Remember our discussion about financial incentives? The reason companies don’t fix cybersecurity [Same reason software is insecure]
No incentives to make the Internet of Things secure = Insecure Internet of Things (IIoT).
What seems unclear about that?
I first saw this in a tweet by Tarun Tejpal.
