Hidden mining kriptovalyut starts to take on an increasingly threatening scale. Hackers make money using other computers, smart phones and other smart devices for mining. At the World Mobile Congress, Avast talked about the extent of infection by the software-miners and introduced a new cloud protection system.
According to experts Avast, now about infection by miners it's too early to speak of as an epidemic, but alarming symptoms are already noticeable everywhere, including on the Internet of things. For example, with a network of 15 thousand smart refrigerators connected to the Internet, in just four days you can earn about a thousand dollars. And because now not only smartphones and computers are connected to the network, but also refrigerators, toothbrushes and audio speakers, the scale that a potential threat acquires even scares even security experts.
Depressive also the degree of protection of such devices, because often manufacturers of electronics connected to the Network, use for all categories of their goods simple logins and passwords that are put on gadgets by default, and not too savvy in security issues, users simply forget or do not want to protect themselves from unauthorized access.
To combat the "black" miners and other intruders, Avast has created Avast Smart Home Security, a cloud-based AI service that can protect all devices connected to the Internet. The Internet market of things in the coming years will grow to 75 billion connected devices, so you need to prepare for their protection now. The Avast Smart Home Security system can prevent attacks from the Internet of things and warn users about an attempt to gain unauthorized access through the application. Details on the development of Avast is going to be revealed later.
