Loading...IOT HACKING AWARDS
Like with website/service hacking, the only way to get the clever guys on your side is to pay them for their “security” services – yes it’s extortion of a digital type, but would you want your house front door to be unlocked by a hacker, so burglars can race to loot the place?
Awards or criminal sentences? “Cars and medical devices are critical to everyday life, and vulnerable entry points for hackers.”
The OP may be right. Only way to get those types of minds doing positive things instead of crime, is to give them a goal for channeling their energy.
The more ways there are for devices to connect to each other, the more opportunities there are for threat actors to intercept them. Hypertext Transfer Protocol and APIs are just two of the channels that IoT devices rely on that hackers can intercept. But these guys love it. especially if its easy and fun.
