Australian Information Security Association highlighted the privacy issues related to smart devices. In October last year, AISA hosted Dennis Giese, a researcher who exposed the potential for robot vacuum cleaners to capture and leak images. As the peak body for cyber security in Australia, we again emphasise the dangers of the use of smart devices in Australian households. Talking with Ruth Wynn-Williams from Channel 9, AISA’s Board Chair, Akash Mittal, expressed significant concerns over the privacy and security threats posed by these devices. He says, “As the peak body for cyber security, we are deeply concerned about the privacy and security risks associated with the use of these smart devices. We know that these devices can be hacked, and an attacker could be watching or listening into our homes. Any efforts that can be made to keep Australians safe and protect their privacy are welcomed.” AISA also commends the efforts by The Australian Centre for Robotics to develop cameras that produce real-time scrambled images that humans can't decipher.

🚨𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐨𝐓 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝?🚨 As IoT devices (like smart cameras and connected cars) become more common, they also bring new security risks. When these devices get hacked, it can lead to serious problems like - stolen data, device manipulation and impacting everything from personal privacy to business operations. Real-world examples, like the 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐢 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤, which took down major websites and the 𝐉𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐤, where researchers took control of a car remotely, show how dangerous these hacks can be. That’s why IoT security testing and VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) are essential in preventing such attacks and securing IoT devices. Connect with us to make sure that your IoT devices and data are protected! #Cybersecurity #IoTSecurity #VAPT #DataProtection #TechSafety #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth

A major Eastern European #EV #charging network was recently challenged by a cyber attack - this is by no means the only one and there will sadly be more. There is regulation which EVs have to adhere to, such as The Cyber Resilience Act, however it is the business disruption and brand reputation which is more damaging. Attackers accessed data of 20,000+ customers, including names, emails, RFID tags, and car registrations. The attack also caused a temporary outage across all charging stations, exposing vulnerabilities in EV infrastructure. The Upstream Security H1'2024 report dives into this and other key threats to the smart mobility and IoT ecosystem. Discover detailed insights and actionable strategies to protect your assets from emerging risks. Don't miss out—download the report now➡️ https://lnkd.in/dX_gDFAu

Recently, I noticed my Nest Protect (smoke and CO detector) was frequently going offline. Investigating further, I found that all my Nest devices were attempting to connect to telecom hosts in high-risk regions like China, Russia, and Ukraine. Fortunately, my home Palo Alto firewall, equipped with geo-filtering, blocked these connections. However, it raised an important question: why are these IoT devices reaching out to unknown hosts in the first place? Not only does this disconnection cause operational issues, but it also introduces potential safety risks, especially when devices like smoke and CO detectors go offline and essential alerts are delayed or blocked. IoT devices play crucial roles in safeguarding our homes and lives, but their lack of built-in security opens pathways for data to be intercepted or transferred to suspicious locations. This experience is a powerful reminder of how essential it is to incorporate IoT-specific protections, like advanced firewalls and geo-filtering, to minimize risks. Let’s be proactive in securing our connected devices—our privacy and safety depend on it. #CyberSecurity #IoTSecurity #NestProtect #ThreatIntelligence #HomeSecurity #Infosec #PaloAltoNetworks #CyberAwareness #ConnectedDevices #DataProtection #IoT

⚠️ Smart homes under attack? ⚠️ It looks like your robot vacuum might be up to more than just cleaning. 😬 If you're an Ecovac user, this one's for you. Hackers are taking control of smart vacuums, turning them into tools for something far more sinister than picking up dust. Owners across the U.S. recently reported hearing strange voices coming from their vacuums – only to realize hackers had taken control of their devices and were using the audio feature to yell inappropriate slurs. 🤯 Smart devices have always raised red flags when it comes to security, and these recent hacks just highlight that issue again. Researchers found multiple weaknesses in Ecovacs’ products – even lawnmowers! These gaps allow attackers take control of the devices' microphones and cameras. If your vacuum is connected to the internet, it’s time to take action: ✅ Change your passwords. ✅ Double-check your security settings. ✅ Be cautious about what’s linked to your Wi-Fi. Make sure the only thing your vacuum is cleaning up is dirt! #Cybersecurity #SmartHome #TechAlert #IoT #DataProtection
