"Off-The-Shelf Smart Devices Found Easy to Hack"

Cyber researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev discovered major security vulnerabilities within off-the-shelf IoT devices such as baby monitors, thermostats, security cameras, and more through the dismantling and reverse engineering of such devices. The security vulnerabilities discovered to be contained by these devices would allow hackers to take control and perform a number of malicious activities. This article continues to discuss the findings of this research in relation to security vulnerabilities contained by IoT devices, what hackers could do through the exploitation of such security flaws, and tips for improving the security of IoT devices.
