One such smart device that is slated to hit homes this year is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2017-01-06-lg-smart-instaview-refrigerator-hands-on.html\">LG Smart Instaview Refrigerator<\/a>. With this great innovation, you can tap the 29\u201d screen to see what is inside of your fridge instead of opening the handle and \u201cwasting electricity.\u201d WiFi is used to power Amazon\u2019s Alexa, which will be inside your. While this may seem like a great step towards an interconnected world with smart cities and homes, we should take a step back and consider the security and privacy implications of sticking IP cameras, or other Internet of Things (IoT) devices on your network.<\/p>\n<h2>Some companies just don\u2019t care about WiFi security<\/h2>\n<p>Just last week, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a suit against popular network device company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2017\/1\/7\/14199232\/ftc-sued-d-link-unsecure-routers-webcams-cybersecurity\">D-Link<\/a>. The FTC is filing suit because those at D-Link \u201crepeatedly have failed to take reasonable steps to protect their routers and [Internet Protocol] cameras from widely known and reasonably foreseeable risks of unauthorized access.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From D-Link\u2019s end, William Brown, their chief security officer has denied the FCC\u2019s claims. He stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cD-Link denies the allegations outlined in the complaint and is taking steps to defend the action.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even if D-Link provides acceptable security to its users, many vulnerable devices are still around. One researcher, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2016\/11\/18\/this-security-camera-was-infected-by-malware-in-98-seconds-after-it-was-plugged-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Stephens<\/a>, found that his device (a webcam) was hacked within 98 seconds of being exposed to the big, bad, world, wide web. That webcam, a JideTech 720p wireless security camera, was bought by the security researcher and many more unsuspecting botnet participants from none other than Amazon \u2013 though the item is no longer listed as available. Such webcams and other IoT devices have been used in Mirai botnets for massive DDOS attacks on network infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2>Remember that WiFi security is ultimately the end user\u2019s responsibility<\/h2>\n<p>If you have an internet connected device, you can\u2019t trust the provider, you\u2019ll have to ensure your own device security. Additionally, don\u2019t buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/previous-owner-security-camera-spy-webcam-privacy-scare-highlights-internet-things-security-difficulties\/\">used IoT devices<\/a>, as those can have their own unique but obvious security issues. This is just like the days of wireless when everyone had open, unprotected, unencrypted wireless networks and you could just as easily use your neighbor\u2019s wireless as your own. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/\">IoT\u00a0security<\/a> is important because once a malicious attacker has control of one device on your network, they are positioned to attack your other devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LG, the Korean tech\u00a0corporation, recently announced at CES that they intended to put wireless access aka WiFi in every one of their new 2017 devices.
