earlier, and have published a detailed analysis of this. Figure 1 shows how the source of attacks has changed in one year. F-Secure outlined where attacks
originate and who they are targeting (using countries’ IP spaces to identify each side) in Figure 2. Cyber-attacks are constantly
changing in regards to sophistication and evasion. While such means as peer-to-peer command and control communications, the use of worm- like features for self-propagation are in use, weak passwords continue to be a source of entry. Palo Alto Networks found that password-related attacks continue to be prevalent on IoT devices due to weak manufacturer-set passwords and poor password security practices.
One set of attacks will be more difficult for home/remote users to mitigate but are worth mentioning. Radio frequency (RF) jamming of wireless IoT devices, such as security cameras and alarm security devices, have the potential to be obstructed via radio jamming. This is quite easy to do, performed via an illegal RF jammer device, and simply jams the communication between a device and a network. North Korea has been demonstrating its ability to jam GPS signals, which affected flights around Seoul, South Korea a number of years ago on several occasions. Wi-Fi or cellular communications can also be affected in a localized manner. The only thing that can be done is network monitoring here so that those affected are aware of the problem and perhaps identify the culprit nearby. New Laws Are a Comin’ One new law may change this
soon, since California’s SB-327 IoT law took effect on January 1, 2020, and it prohibits the use of default credentials. Certainly a step in the right direction since it forces manufacturers to design in better
