Netscout: IoT devices under attack within minutes of turn-up
“Our latest Threat Intelligence Report underscores how cybercriminals and crimeware have not only gone to business school, but they can now teach classes,” said Hardik Modi, NETSCOUT’s senior director of threat intelligence, in a statement. “With the cadence of attacks on the rise, businesses can no longer afford to compromise on security. IoT devices are under attack often within just five minutes of being powered up. The threats are real.”
Netscout said that the report on threats in the first half of 2019 “underscores how dramatically the cybercriminal business model has matured into an efficient, global operation.”
