In the recent incident that led to widespread cyberspace in the United States, hackers used a Mirai virus called the “Internet of Things Destroyer†to search for broilers. Even more deadly, the source code of the Mirai virus was announced by developers in September, resulting in a large number of hackers to upgrade the virus, which is more contagious and harmful than the previous generation.
The Mirai virus is a virus that searches the Internet of Things (IoT) device through the Internet. When it scans an IoT device (such as a webcam, smart switch, etc.), it tries to log in using the default password (Mirai Virus has 60 common passwords. Once the landing is successful, the IoT device will enter the "broiler" list and be manipulated by hackers to attack other network devices.
According to a survey conducted by the foreign website Kerbson Security, the reason for the large-scale network disconnection incident was not as simple as we imagined, and it revealed a major security risk of the Internet of Things. A total of more than one million IoT devices participated in this DDoS attack. Among these devices, there are a large number of DVRs (digital video recorders, which are generally used to record surveillance videos, users can view the network) and web cameras (webcams that are connected via Wifi, and users can use the App to view the cameras in real time).
Flashpoint Security's experts said, “If you can easily change the password, but the password in the module is written to the firmware, there is no tool to modify the password of this module. What's more frightening is that the user I don't know if there is such a password.†Many companies develop camera modules and also develop DVR solutions. As a result, after hackers put on common account names and passwords, they easily controlled more than one million devices, which also led to this massive DDoS attack. It is worth noting that this incident revealed that the Internet of Things (IoT) equipment has a serious problem of low security thresholds. This will lead to widespread doubts: If similar attacks occur in the Internet of Things market, will each IoT user Will recruit in the city? This may impact the Internet of Things related industries.
