Although most organizations use emails with built-in security features that filter out suspicious messages, criminals always find a way to bypass these systems. With the development of AI technology, phishing is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize, allowing them to circumvent security measures. While most attempts do not succeed, it only takes one to cause significant damage to a company’s operations.

Yet again, connected devices are in the news for all the wrong reasons. In October, security researchers found that robot vacuums from Chinese company, Ecovacs, can be compromised via a backdoor. In one case, hackers gained control over the device and shouted slurs at the homeowners. Worse still: the company doesn’t take responsibility and tells users they “do not need to worry excessively” about the vulnerability. This hack is another unfortunate example of connected device companies shirking their security and privacy responsibilities. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/ditNPh37 Carsten Rhod Gregersen - Nabto #IoT #privacy #smarthome #connecteddevices #cybersecurity #netsec #security #infosecurity #CISO #ITsecurity #cybersecuritynews #securitynews
