How to protect connected home devices from cyber attacks

In July of 2014, HP Labs did a study of 10 popular IoT devices and found security was shockingly bad. The researchers studied 10 devices, looking at end-to-end security capabilities including privacy protection, authorisation, encryption, user interface protection, and code security. They found 70% of the devices had at least one major vulnerability. At the end of their study, researchers identified over 250 vulnerabilities, an average of 25 per ...
