]]> Internet of things, smart appliances and, now, the connected car. The technology seeps into every corner to make life easier, but, as with everything, offers new possibilities for other people to do bad things. Here we tend to talk about security, how this can affect your digital “you” , your organization or even your physical devices.

]]> Internet of things (IOT) and ambient intelligence are terms heard much lately. Are these devices free of virus?

Internet of Things The problem is that in the same way you connect your new smartwatch with the refrigerator to alert you that you have left enough milk to go to the supermarket to buy , any avid hacker can do that and more with a virus. Before control was achieved in computers, then came the mobile terminal , but I can now get to hack almost anything around us.

The main reason that most of the people that drive the Internet of things (IOT) to defend against these claims Castle, is that usually the companies implementing these devices can not pay excessive attention to safety and need to keep low costs to keep producing . Although this is true in some way , this does not in any way that eventually several viruses often quite basic , start multiplying by the network to infect vulnerable these “things.” One of the most notorious cases was that of a delivery network with more than 100,000 spam bots, in which at least 25 % were neither computers or phones, but refrigerators.

Although it may seem far-fetched , each of these smart devices have the ability to perform many actions other than for which had been programmed , simply for the fact of having an Internet connection and a processor.

Hopefully get that together provide , somehow , a point of safety in this area and thus make really a solution, not a headache for his virus. Until then, I would think twice before flooding the world of intelligent devices (IOT) in which , without a doubt , safety is not the focus.

Forewarned is forearmed .
