Survey of Security and Privacy Issues of Internet of Things

Who’s Watching Your Smart Stuff? Simple look at IoT Security and Privacy

Small gadgets at home and at work are talking to each other more than ever, and that can be good, but also worrying.
Everyday items become part of a huge web called the Internet of Things, where lights, fridges and watches share info.
Some of that info is harmless, but other bits can reveal private habits, locations, or even let someone else control a device.
The big issue is how these gadgets send and receive data — flaws there make them easy to trick or listen to, so your data gets exposed.
Most people do not know how wide the risk is, or why its more than just a bug.
There are no easy fixes yet, and many devices were built without strong protection in mind.
Thinking about this now can save trouble later, and simple steps help, but we must push makers to do better.
If you care about your home and your privacy, it’s time to learn a bit and ask tough questions about the security and privacy of your connected things.
