A set of flaws in a widely used network communication protocol that could affect millions of devices was revealed Monday by security researchers.
The nine vulnerabilities discovered by Forescout Research Labs and JSOF Research dramatically increase the attack surface of at least 100 million Internet of Things devices, exposing them to potential attacks that could take the devices offline or to be hijacked by threat actors. History has shown that controlling IoT devices can be an effective tactic to launch DDoS attacks, said Rohit Dhamankar, vice president for threat intelligence products at Alert Logic, an application and infrastructure security company in Houston.
