Unveiling the Underbelly of IoT: An In-Depth Analysis of Hacking Risks

 

In terms of versatility, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that is easily one of the most versatile technologies in the world today. In the era of the internet, the network connection capacity is increasing and the number and diversity of connected devices are enabling the IoT to be scaled and adapted to meet the changing needs of the user. Among the industries the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized are several sectors such as food production, manufacturing, finance, healthcare, and energy. 
Furthermore, it has led to the development of smart buildings, homes, and even cities at the same time. Generally, IoT attacks are malicious attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in devices connected to the internet, for example, smart homes, industrial control systems, and medical devices. There is a possibility that hackers may gain control of the device, steal sensitive information from it, or use the device as part of a botnet to accomplish other malicious acts. 
The term “IoT hacking” is frequently used by researchers to describe the process of removing gadgets, examining their software, and learning how they work. However, there are more challenges involved with IoT hacking than just technical ones. Cyber threats are evolving to reveal a world of virtual battles that go on behind the scenes. Hackers are increasingly targeting IoT (Internet of Things) and OT (Operational Technology) systems, which are extremely important for the future.
