IoT (Internet
of Things) transforms the industries with the ability to connect, communicate
with, and remotely managed automated devices via internet. This is the future
in today, but the main problem is that it is relatively new in the industries.
Because of the new concept, and the high and fast competition of the manufacturers,
security has not always been considered in product design. In this case of
competition, it is more important to put the product on the market faster. Furthermore,
they cannot keep pace with rapidly changing techniques of hacking. Many IoT
products are sold with old and unpatched embedded operating systems and
software.
We already
heard that IoT devices been targeted by malwares. However, concepts of the attacks
to IoT devices are changing day by day. The attackers are more interested in to
use these devices to perform DDoS attacks.
You can
find a detailed investigation about the DDoS attacks made by IoT devices in
Symantec’ s new blog;
It seems,
these types of attacks will increase day by day, with the increasing diversity
of the IoT devices.
