When IoT Cookies Crumble: The Laughable Security Gaps You Can Drive a Truck Through
Infosec can be a laugh riot when all you need to “hack” into IoT devices is a cookie with “user=admin.” It’s like opening a high-security vault with a spoon. Weak default passwords and recurring vulnerabilities make breaching as easy as pie. Don’t let your IoT become the butt of the infosec jokes!
Hot Take:
IoT security: where passwords are as effective as a screen door on a submarine, and cookies are the new skeleton keys to your digital castle. Who knew baking could be so dangerous?
Key Points:
– Default and easily guessable cookies in IoT devices pose significant security risks.
– Common vulnerabilities include OS command injection and unpatched firmware.
– CVE-2024-3w721 and CVE-2023-26801 are among the notable vulnerabilities in IoT devices.
– Many of these issues remain unpatched or undocumented, especially in less popular devices.
– IoT security continues to be the Wild West of the digital world, with weak defenses and many outlaws.
