Check Point Software Technologies has published research warning people of the five household objects that are being targeted by cybercriminals to spy on individuals in their own home.
It is estimated that there are more 22-billion devices linked to a home internet connection around the world and research suggests this figure could reach 38,6-billion by 2025. While hyper-connectivity offers countless benefits, it also increases the number of available attack points to hackers and invisible intruders.
“Mobile phones, Smart TVs, computers and toys are just some of the devices being targeted. The number of products that feature a camera or microphone is growing every day, which can become an issue if they are connected to the internet and do not have the necessary security measures in place,” points out Eusebio Nieva, technical director of Check Point for Spain and Portugal.
