Thank you for watching How Hackers Exploit IoT Devices (And How to Defend Against It) from try to be useful!

What you will learn in this short:  Have you ever thought how easy it is for your smart home devices to get hacked? From security cameras to smart fridges, Internet of Things devices are a goldmine for cybercriminals! IoT devices often lack strong security measures, making them easy targets for hackers. Once inside a device, they can access your personal data and even turn your device into part of a botnet, which is a network filled with infected devices used in massive cyberattacks. So, how can you defend against it? Step 1: Always change deefault passwords to something strong and unique for each device. Step 2: Keep your devices updated! Manufacturers release security patches to fix vulnerabilities. Step 3: Set up a separate network for your IoT devices. This keeps them isolated from your main devices like phones and computers. Step 4: Disable features you don’t use, like remote access to limit entry points for hackers. Step 5: Use encryption when possible. Some devices support encrypted communication, making it harder for hackers to intercept your data.
