The Internet of things (IoT) makes everything smarter, from refrigerators to thermostats to microwave ovens, as smart as a thoughtful little assistant who knows all your daily habits. However, with the introduction of networking technology into thousands of households, malicious hackers can also use these innovations to do bad things, we need to strengthen our understanding and vigilance. While strengthening passwords and leveraging other security applications can help enhance network security, blocking access is still a very effective first step.

1. Third-party application

If you are using a third-party App, be careful!

This fall, Snapchat users fell victim to a major data breach, with more than 90, 000 photos and 9000 videos stolen. The hackers downloaded third-party applications to circumvent Snapchat's incompatibility with its operating system. Snapchat states that some third-party developers will build services to trick users and steal their login information.

two。 Intelligent refrigerator

Last year, a security company called Proofpoint found that 100000 connected household appliances, such as smart refrigerators, were used by hackers as entry points for sending poisonous emails between December 13 and January 14.

3. Automobile

Senator Edward Markett, Democrat of Massachusetts, released a report saying that almost all vehicles have wireless vulnerabilities that allow hackers to take advantage of keyless access, navigation systems and remote boot functions. Not only that, the personal information collected by carmakers is often stored in third parties and is easy to be leaked.

4. Social media account

The well-known news organizations and companies that have become victims of hacking of social media accounts are unknown. Twitter, in particular, has countless companies humiliated by the hacking of their Twitter accounts. The Chipotle fast-food chain and Newsweek are just two recent examples of social image loss.

5. Cash register

Some retailer data leaks-Target, Neiman Marcos, Michaels Handicraft chain, P.F. Chang's Chinese Food chain, Home Depot chain, etc., have been questioned about the security of the terminal of sale (POS) system and payment terminal, which led to hackers obtaining customers' credit card information. If you use a mobile payment system, please make sure that you have tried your best to reduce the possibility of being cheated.

6. Baby monitor

If your baby monitor is wireless, the things you use to take care of your baby may also be used by hackers to monitor yourself, especially if there are cameras attached to the monitor.

7. Fax machine

Even if you don't use a fax machine very often, especially if you don't use a fax machine very often, hackers can hack into every computer connected to the fax machine by fax. The research team at security company Check Point Software can hack all computers connected to HP full-featured printers by faxing pictures with malicious code. The fax machine stores the fax files in the system, which creates an opportunity for hackers to access the entire system. Therefore, precisely because it is not part of the daily technical work, it is necessary to ensure regular cleaning. Or, upgrade your system so that hackers can't break through and lurk.

Solution method

These are widely used in daily life, it is difficult to think that hackers will make a story here, and this kind of security events have been banned repeatedly, how should we ensure the stable operation of terminal equipment, data security, and reduce the workload of operation and maintenance is a difficult problem.

For these devices with low safety factor, we can install CBS cyber locks to improve their safety factor. CBS (Cyber Shield Cyber Lock) is a terminal device data protection lock developed by Shenxinda Company. By embedding LMDS (Last Meter Data Security, a security engine exclusively developed by Shenxinda) into the operating system, it locks the state of the terminal system and prevents the environment from being destroyed and tampered with!

CBS features:

① keeps the system running normally: it is what it is when deployed, the normal running state of the system is maintained, and it takes up low resources, does not affect performance, and supports networking and stand-alone offline mode.

② prevents unauthorized software installation: unauthorized software cannot be installed and run, eliminating disassembled and poisoned Trojans from the root causes

③ core data area encryption: terminal core data is encrypted to prevent information leakage
