Malware infects the global Internet of Things and forces the European Union to develop new regulations

<

[China Instrument Network Instrument downstream] The European Commission announced that it will formulate new IoT device safety specifications. The new regulation is part of the EU's telecommunications law reform plan. There have been warnings that many IoT devices have inadequate security protection and even no security protection. Therefore, the EU proposed this proposal and plans to solve the security problem through stricter regulations.


Catherine Stoop, the European dynamic website (Euractive), said that the European Commission encourages companies to create tag systems for approved, secure IoT devices. The EU legislature hopes to enact laws and regulations to force companies to comply with safety standards and to ensure the privacy of the Internet of Things and eliminate security threats through a multi-pronged authentication process.

The latest threat is the so-called "Mirai" powerful malware that infects physical network devices worldwide. The analysis report released by Flashpoint, a network security intelligence company, believes that the main problem is that even if the IoT device user changes the default certificate, it can still invade the device through the Internet. A Flashpoint spokesperson stated that the problem with this type of device is that users cannot change their passwords on their own. The password is written in the firmware. At present, the password tool has not been released and the certificate is not even visible on the screen. This is also a problem for various connected devices. Users still use the default user name and password, making it easily a target of cyber threats. Dibor Kleiner, deputy director of the European digital economic commissioner Gunther Ottinger’s office, said that it is not enough to focus on only one IoT component. It needs to focus on the entire network and cloud, and it needs to establish a government framework to obtain certification.
