The security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is often compromised by the use of weak default passwords. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities simply by having access to the device’s interface, eliminating the need for advanced hacking techniques. As the number of IoT devices continues to grow, so does the risk associated with these common security flaws.
Another concerning vulnerability is found within HTTP cookies that may inadvertently expose sensitive user information such as usernames or user IDs. This can lead to unauthorized access and potentially escalate into larger breaches. Understanding these weaknesses is crucial for developers and consumers alike to implement better security practices in IoT applications and safeguard user data, ultimately reducing the risks associated with these technologies.
