The IoT: Gateway for enterprise hackers

By Taylor Armerding

The risk of notoriously insecure Internet of Things devices is not so much that those devices themselves will be compromised, but that they provide dozens – perhaps hundreds – of openings that could allow attackers to get inside an enterprise network

You May Have Helped Crash the Internet. But How Would You Know?

by Bernadette Tansey

Cyberattackers this month brought down Internet access to Twitter, Netflix, Airbnb, the New York Times, and many other companies by hijacking thousands of poorly protected devices and forcing them to overwhelm a key Web traffic hub with a barrage of messages.

You—in the form of your camera, printer, router, or other device—may have been one of the hapless recruits to the cybercriminals’ renegade army. If so, how would you ever find out?

The unwelcome signs, according to cybersecurity expert Chris Risley, include everything from sluggishness in your device’s performance, to mysteriously high data charges on your next smartphone bill, or—worst-case scenario—a federal agent knocking on your company’s door with a subpoena.

Risley, the CEO of Atlanta security company Bastille, is one of the cyber defense experts who have been analyzing an attack on Manchester, NH-based Internet performance management company Dyn, which was the target of a denial-of-service attack Oct. 21 that blocked Web traffic to its customers, such as Twitter.

Hackers pop top 'secure' wireless keyboard and mouse kits, gain RCE

By Darren Pauli

Klostermeier's and Deeg's attack uses an internal Python tool that inputs keystrokes into command using the inbuilt Windows virtual keyboard to run attack commands. It also uses with the Crazyradio PA USB device, and leverages Bastille's nrf research firmware to pull off the attacks.

The pair published a proof-of-concept video demonstrating the three-minute attack against the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 2000 which they say can be sped up to reduce time to compromise.

Their work joins efforts by internet-of-radio-things security company Bastille which in July hosed low-cost wireless keyboard and mouse setups through a bug it called KeySniffer. ®

Bastille Focused on Protecting Enterprise IoT as Part of the 'Internet of Radios'

By Edward Gately

Bob Baxley, Bastille 's chief engineer, tells us the biggest secret about the IoT security landscape is that it's not about the "things," but rather about the radios (radio frequency).

"Enterprises are more at risk of a radio-based attack than ever before because enterprises don't have the security protocols in place to properly identify and mitigate these threats," he says. "There is concern, but there needs to be greater concern about the vulnerability in IoT networks because there's a gap between IoT security awareness and preparedness in the enterprise. Seeing as many of these devices contain vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit and use as a portal for entry into an organization's network, adopting a solution like Bastille Enterprise allows organizations to determine if a device on the network is acting abnormally and identify threats or attacks that might be occurring."
