New law will issue bans, fines for using default passwords on smart devices

The idea of connecting your entire home to the internet was once a mind-blowing concept. Thanks to smart devices, that concept is now a reality. However, this technological advancement aimed at making our lives more convenient—not to mention very cool and futuristic!—has also opened a wide door f...

Insecure Certificate Validation

aws-iot-device-sdk-v2 uses insecure certificate validation. Attackers are able to compromise certificate authorities in their trust stores on macOS, by spoofing DNS records to bypass CA pinning...

What does the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure bill mean for me?

The UK’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport DCMS introduced a bill to Parliament yesterday. But what does that mean for IoT manufacturers and consumers? First, this bill has been a long time coming. Many people have been lobbying and working hard to create it. Industry and others with vested...

Improper certificate management in AWS IoT Device SDK v2

The AWS IoT Device SDK v2 for Java, Python, C++ and Node.js appends a user supplied Certificate Authority CA to the root CAs instead of overriding it on Unix systems. TLS handshakes will thus succeed if the peer can be verified either from the user-supplied CA or the system’s default trust-store...
