Major Security Vulnerability Found in Yet Another Consumer IoT Device – RTInsights
Researchers at Bitdefender discovered a security flaw that involved the devices sending hackers the passwords of the WiFi networks they were connected to.
In a recent case study, cybersecurity research company Bitdefender revealed a serious security flaw in the popular Amazon Ring doorbell. According to their findings, when the doorbell is configured for a WiFi network, it creates an access point to that network without the need of a password. A hacker can trick the device into malfunctioning, prompting the owner to reconfigure it. A nearby hacker can then get into the network and launch a larger attack.
