Internet of things loophole full of intelligent lighting really safe?

Humans are trying to every thing in life, large TVs, refrigerators, small mirror, a cup, are connected to the Internet, and this will be overweeningly ambitious real and virtual world called highly integrated crop networking.

However, in the face of the upcoming new era of intelligent community security guards, IT has done care-laden, because this also means that Internet security issues will penetrate and diffuse to almost every corner of human life. At least, in 360, vice president of the company, Chief Privacy Officer Tan Xiaosheng seems, it will be a loophole full of times.

Not long ago, returned from the United States, Las Vegas black hat conference Tan Xiaosheng witnessed a demonstration team in 45 minutes to successfully break the 22 devices. He pointed out that the creation of an intelligent system is a goal of human beings, but because of the inherent defects of computer systems, the probability of achieving a very small, any system may become the target of attack.

"The future is not only a device to break, but the 10 devices break problems; not only is your mobile phone being attacked, your smart wristbands, smart glasses and other personal or household equipment are all likely to face security risks. Tan Xiaosheng said in an interview.

He is currently exposed to more Chinese consumers smart TV, for example, the majority of smart TV will have a camera for the user's game entertainment. "This combination once had been successfully hacked, then the user what time every day to open and close the TV, see what kind of TV programs, or even a no, these privacy will be completely leak, the impact will be more than the average person to imagine more serious. "

He also pointed out that some smart TV set-top box with a sound control system, to identify the voice, if it is cracked, it will become a hacker's eavesdropping device.

Car networking is a part of the Internet of things, some of the current driving software has been opened remotely, lock the door, remote navigation and repair failures, etc.. However, Tan Xiaosheng also reminded, enjoying convenient services at the same time, from the vehicle electronic control system to the 3G and 4G network communication link, the remote server application interface, the cloud background system to the security of mobile APP, any security vulnerabilities, will be on the car networking system caused serious influence, and even a threat to the driver the safety of the passengers.

These are just the tip of the iceberg. In the broad future of the Internet of things, microwave ovens, refrigerators, water heaters these networking equipment, will face more security risks. "Every compromised device could become a spy machine or even a weapon. Tan Xiaosheng said, imagine when you take a bath, hackers by taking your water heater to raise the water temperature to 90 degrees, is not very scary? "

In China, the Internet of things is still in its infancy, the majority of companies involved in the effort to invest more in research and development, security considerations and R & D investment is almost zero.

"These devices and systems in a wide range of investment market, security vulnerabilities will be destroyed, and vulnerability once exposed, the late repair upgrade cost is extremely high, like the hotel lighting system intrusion case set people thinking. Tan Xiaosheng said.

According to reports, in 2014, the United States, black hat conference, from the car's smart dashboard to Nest smart thermostat, were hacked defense. Jesus, the former chairman of the trusted computing group, Molina, showed the audience how to use an unsafe protocol to control the lights of the hotel.

The security consultant checked into a five star hotel in Shenzhen on a business trip. This hotel provides iPad for each room, guests can be used to control the room lights. Because of the extremely boring, Jesus Molina studied the iPad, found that the device is through the hotel's Internet services and lighting accessories for communication, communication commands do not have any security settings. So, he simply modified the device IP address of the last one, you can control another device; then, he wrote a script on the iPad, the control of the 200 rooms of the lights on and off.

In order to test, Jesus Molina for 4 rooms, which also alerted the hotel manager. He even tried to break into the door lock control system, but felt a little scared and gave up. After that, he contacted the parent company of the hotel, the company added a patch for the vulnerability of the system.
