The actual situation of the threat of the web targeting IoT equipment

If you are conscious of security, you will have security software on your computer.In addition, some people may have installed security software on smartphones and have a perfect system.Indeed, if security software is introduced, those devices will be protected by external attacks.However, how many people are paying attention to devices that cannot install software, such as smart TVs, smart speakers, game equipment, network cameras, and various IoT equipment that control home appliances?

In recent years, malware targeting such defenseless IoT equipment has been increasing.Here are new internet threats targeting recently newly confirmed IoT devices.

"Reaper" to increase the first soldier of DDOS attacks

In October 2017, the existence of malware called "Reaper" aimed at IoT equipment was confirmed."Reaper" is a malware that hijacks the device by hitting a known vulnerabilities and botting it to remotely control it.The target is a variety of network cameras, NAS, servers, routers, etc. equipped with Linux -based OSs, and it is said that millions have already been said to be millions that have been infected with this malware.It is said that a botnet is built.

Once an attacker is issued by an attacker, the infected device will launch DDOS and other attacks all at once.

The scary thing about the bot is that unless a remote control order is given, it is unknown that it is lurking quietly and infected with the user.And if an attack order is issued, you will become a perpetrator who will cause a large -scale disability without knowing it.This Reaper can send and attack program sources, which can cause more damage than DDOS.

"Brickerbot" that makes IoT equipment unusable

"Brickerbot", which was confirmed in April 2017, is a malware that makes IoT equipment completely unusable, and is worse than bots.The attack method is to connect a total hit attack aiming for the initial setting ID and password of the IoT device.By changing the set value, hindering the connection to the Internet, reducing the operation, or deleting the files in the device, executing an unauthorized Linux command will eventually fall into use.。

Be careful not to use IoT devices that have been introduced to live a more comfortable life because of the lack of security management.

Although the number of IoT equipment, including smart speakers, is increasing, unlike information terminals such as PCs and smartphones, there are many percentage of people who introduce them in a sense of home appliances, and the security awareness of users is still so high.do not have.The login ID and password remain in the initial state, or the update is neglected and there are no vulnerability measures.However, as long as the network is connected, it is necessary to change the awareness that any device will be amazing.

All network connected devices need security measures!

In this way, in modern times, not only PCs and smartphones, but also all network connection devices in the home are threatened.Security measures are indispensable to protect such threats.

Many people think "I'm okay."But it's too late after being damaged.First of all, be sure to introduce security software on your computer or smartphone.

Even without special settings, you can block access to fraudulent sites and monitor the network into the network, and protect them from unauthorized remote control.Security devices are painful to realize the benefits, but since communication history is left, what kind of attack you were attacked, what sites you tried to access, and are frequently used apps on smartphones.You can check the usage status.You can always see how the IoT devices used at home are protected, so they dispel the anxiety, "Is this box working properly?"

↑ If you turn on the notification, you will be notified to the management app and the history will remain.

Spring, where the year changes and new life, such as new members of society, enrollment and advancement, is a good opportunity to review home security.Now that IoT devices are growing in the home, we will introduce the "Virus Buster for Home Network" immediately to protect the safety of the home.

* This product is effective when you want to protect Internet connection devices that cannot install security software from hijacking or remote control, or want to defend access to harmful sites at once.

* Since USB memory and virus attached to e -mails are not attacked on the network, or when using terminals outside the network at home, it is not eligible for protection of this product, so PCs and smartphones are conventional security.I need software.
