The number of denial-of-service (DoS) or distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in 2016 increased from 3 percent to 6 percent. This is due to the lack of security control over the Internet of Things (IoT) device.
Of all the cases of assault on IoT devices, 60 percent of them are Asian, 21 percent from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the remaining 19 percent are from America. The main cause of the high volume of attacks in Asia is the source of the technology has a vulnerable nature, and the infrastructure tends to be used to support other criminal activities.
The following are some of the main highlights contained in the published Dimensions Data's Executive's Guide to the NTT Security 2017 Global Threat Intelligence Report.
The report aggregates data collected by NTT Security and its underlying companies including Dimension Data, from 10,000 client networks on five continents, 3.5 billion security logs, 6.2 trillion trial attacks, as well as global honeypots, and sandboxes housed in more From 100 different countries.
The global honeypot sensor monitors cyber attacks against IoT and its target for more than 6 months period. Based on the credentials used by the perpetrators of the threat, it is estimated that around 66 percent of those attacks target IoT devices with certain models that have video cameras. This attack then spread to several other devices.
It is used by hackers to get a device with a larger amount in running DDoS attacks and other forms of attack. And the other 34 percent of the hackers also intend to increase their targets to different types of devices.
DDoS attacks using IoT devices can cause problems in an organization of various types. They can prevent clients, partners, shareholders and others from accessing their internet-based company resources resulting in side-effects for sales and other day-to-day operations.
In addition, hackers can also prevent employees and internal parties from accessing the Internet, harming some operational aspects and influencing organizations in the process of providing internet-based services, which can lead to supply chain damage.
"DDoS attacks are not just related to IoT devices because hackers are always looking for other devices according to the system they develop," explains Dimension Data 's Cybersecurity Strategist Mark Thomas in a press release to Republika.co.id on Wednesday (14/6).
Mark also pointed out that although DDoS attacks are the most easily recognizable attacks but not the only potential cause of IoT devices, companies as well as company operational support technologies are disrupted.
