3HOW TO PROTECT YOUR IOT DEVICES AND SMART HOME?
Smart devices such as smart TVs, security cameras, baby monitors, smart locks and thermostats add convenience and ease to our lives, but the emergence of internet-connected devices has also created new types of attacks for cybercriminals. Here are the precautions that can be taken against these types of attacks:
1- Secure your router using a strong encryption method such as WPA2, which uses encryption and strong passwords for your Wi-Fi network.
2- Change the default credentials on all your smart devices to prevent cybercriminals from accessing your IoT devices by choosing strong and unique passwords.
3- Change and update default settings for smart devices and disable features you don’t need.
4- Keep software up to date and enable two-factor (2FA) or multi-factor (MFA) authentication for your smart apps and online accounts whenever possible.
