U.S. Department of Homeland Security US-CERT National Cyber Awareness System: IC3 Issues Alert on IoT Devices [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/current-activity/2017/10/17/IC3-Issues-Alert-IoT-Devices ] 10/17/2017 06:56 PM EDT Original release date: October 17, 2017 In conjunction with National Cyber Security Awareness Month, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has issued an alert to individuals and businesses about the security risks involved with the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT refers to the emerging network of devices (e.g., smart TVs, home automation systems) that connect to one another via the Internet, often automatically sending and receiving data. IC3 warns that once a device is compromised, an attacker may take control of an affected system, obtain sensitive information, or cause a denial-of-service condition. US-CERT encourages individuals and businesses to review the IC3 Alert [ https://www.ic3.gov/media/2017/171017-1.aspx ] for more information on IoT vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques. ________________________________________________________________________ This product is provided subject to this Notification [ http://www.us-cert.gov/privacy/notification ] and this Privacy & Use [ http://www.us-cert.gov/privacy/ ] policy. ________________________________________________________________________ A copy of this publication is available at www.us-cert.gov [ https://www.us-cert.gov ].
