How Hackers Exploit IoT Vulnerabilities

Hackers use various techniques to exploit IoT security gaps, including:

πŸ’€ Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks – Intercepting data between devices and networks.
πŸ’€ Device Hijacking – Taking control of smart devices to perform malicious actions.
πŸ’€ Data Breaches – Extracting sensitive personal and corporate data.
πŸ’€ Brute Force Attacks – Cracking weak passwords to gain device access.

πŸ’‘ Case Study: In 2017, a casino was hacked through a smart fish tank thermostat. The attackers gained access to the casino’s network and stole data.
