Hacking into smart homes is becoming increasingly easy and a great way to steal victims’ personal information, Trend Micro said at RSA 2019.
SAN FRANCISCO – Automation platforms are increasingly being used to chain multiple IoT devices together to create user-friendly smart applications – but that’s also creating unpredictable attack surfaces that can be hard to manage.
A Trend Micro report released at RSA Conference 2019 warns that these types of complex IoT environments, which can involve a mix of local standalone servers, cloud-based servers and virtual assistant-based servers, are opening new risks for smart buildings. Attackers could compromise this infrastructure to spy on users and stealing data, or to carry out physical attacks, like unlocking doors at a smart facility.
Threatpost talked to Greg Young, vice president of cybersecurity at Trend Micro, and Stephen Hilt, senior threat researcher at Trend Micro about the biggest threats in the smart home and automated complex environments.
