We looked into IoT-related discussions from several cybercrime underground communities and found discussions ranging from tutorials to actual monetization schemes for IoT-related attacks. For this entry, we provide an overview of what cybercriminals see as perfect openings for attacks on IoT technologies.

In our research Exposed and Vulnerable Critical Infrastructure: Water and Energy Industries, we not only found exposed industrial control system (ICS) human machine interfaces (HMIs) but also pointed out how these systems were at risk. This risk is corroborated by the active interest in water and energy ICSs shown by different kinds of cybercriminal groups.

Already a vital part of the critical infrastructure of the internet, satellites are set to take on a more significant role with the emergence of 5G cellular network technology and the continuing expansion of the internet of things (IoT). While terrestrial networks handle peak load well, disaster handling and critical infrastructure scenarios are served well by satellites, which are unaffected by most ground-based events. Ensuring the security of satellites, therefore, acquires even greater importance and warrants more initiatives to that end.
