How Dark Cubed Sounded the Alarm About IoT Security Concerns

Katzcy News — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 04:00:00 GMT

We’re in the Business of Monitoring for Threats

Every once in a while, during the normal course of taking care of business, something gives you pause. You’re moving at the usual fast pace, managing clients, monitoring their networks and solutions, and suddenly a little snippet of information, or the pattern of a data set, hits you between the eyes. You’ve got to stop and investigate it further, and when you do, you realize that it’s something that you need to share with a community of like-minded individuals. That was the case with the Dark Cubed team this summer.

The Internet of Insecure Things

We began a research project using our cyber threat detection capabilities to explore the behavior of several off-the-shelf “smart home” devices: smart light bulbs, security cameras, and smart electrical outlets. Given the growth in the numbers of these things being deployed by consumers in their homes across the US and around the world, we wanted to explore how much attention has been given to the security of these Internet of Things (IoT) devices by their designers, their manufacturers, and the retailers sourcing them and selling them online or in their stores. We’ve all seen the stories about how these devices can be hacked, but our research wasn’t about that. Dark Cubed wanted to dig into what these things do, and to whom they are communicating, during their standard, uninterrupted operations.
