"New Research Reveals a Surprising World of IoT"

A study has been done by researchers from Stanford University in which they examined user-initiated scans of 16 million homes and 83 million devices to further explore the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. From the analysis of scans and devices, researchers found that the security of older IoT devices such as printers, game consoles, and more, are often overlooked by consumers and the security research community. This article continues to discuss other findings of the study in relation to the varied use and security of IoT devices in different regions as well as the domination of IoT devices by a small group of vendors, the security of older IoT devices, and how privacy was ensured by researchers in the performance of this study.
