Top 7 unusual objects of hacker attacks

Advanced technologies bring both benefits to consumers and harm in the event of hacking by hackers. This is a problem that will only get worse in the future because many companies underestimate or completely ignore cybersecurity. Any item that has a microchip can be cracked.

Here 7 unusual things that can be hacked by hackers.

7. Implants

Any medical device located in the human body and connected to the Internet is vulnerable to hackers. At a 2011 Black Hat computer security event, researcher Jerome Radcliffe demonstrated the vulnerability of his insulin pump by cracking it. It could increase or decrease the dose of insulin to a dangerous or even fatal level, and the device would not warn the user about it.

6. Toilets

You can’t escape from hackers even in a restroom. This applies to those in whose homes a Japanese toilet innovation called Satis is installed. To control these “smart” toilets, a smartphone application called My Satis is used. It uses a single PIN for Bluetooth communication with each toilet. How can an attacker who hacked My Satis annoy the user? For example, getting the toilet to constantly flush water, and this is an additional cost when paying by the meter. And also turn on the air purifier, close and lower the toilet lid, and do not turn off the built-in sound module, which "covers" the sounds of bowel movement.

5. Alarm system

Another unusual thing that can be hacked by hackers. In 2014, an emergency alert system in Montana warned viewers that "the dead come from the graves and attack the living." Subsequently, the channel apologized to the townspeople, explaining that the message appeared as a result of hacking the emergency warning system. Similar pranks occurred in other American states, one of them during the broadcast of the children's show "Barney and Friends." And although the entertainments of “computer pests” did no harm to anyone, this does not mean that subsequent alerts will be just as harmless.

4. Smart homes

In 2015, an experiment was conducted in the West on the vulnerability of smart home automation devices. Of the 16 devices, hacking difficulties delivered only one.

3. Aircraft

To search for a hacker loophole in airplanes, one researcher purchased original spare parts from a supplier of aviation equipment in order to simulate the exchange of data between a passenger aircraft and an air traffic controller. He showed that aircraft safety is so weak that a mobile device with a home-made application can access various aircraft systems. Terrorists do not even need to bring weapons aboard an airliner if you can take control of the steering and direct the winged car to the desired target.

2. Vehicle

In 2015, researchers used a “zero-day exploit” designed for the Jeep Cherokee and received wireless auto control. The jeep driver, a reporter who participated in the experiment, drove along the highway at a speed of 115 kilometers per hour, when the authors of the experiment set the cooling to maximum, changed the radio station, turned on the wiper? And displayed the message “You are doomed!” On the digital display. The driver tried to manually stop these outrages, but to no avail. Although he knew in advance what would happen, he nevertheless survived several unpleasant minutes. Researchers warn that these are just “flowers.” They could suddenly stop the car, which would lead to an accident.

1. New computer

A new computer, not connected to the Internet, is the first line of high-tech things that are vulnerable to hacker attacks. Some Chinese PCs were sold with a pre-installed virus that spy on users and interfere with the operation of antiviruses. A Microsoft investigation revealed that computers were infected with Nitol malware. It spread through removable media and managed to infect millions of computers throughout China.
