With the rapid advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the security challenges associated with connected devices have become more critical than ever. According to a report by Russian newspaper *Kommersant*, a Russian bank discovered that malicious software had infiltrated its ATM machines, enabling them to dispense cash automatically upon entering a specific code. This type of attack is particularly alarming because it bypasses traditional security measures and operates without any physical tampering. The malware responsible for this breach is known as "Bespalova," a non-physical virus that does not manifest as a conventional file. Because of this, standard antivirus programs are unable to detect it, allowing it to remain undetected within infected ATMs for extended periods. This highlights a growing vulnerability in the IoT landscape, where cyber threats can exploit weaknesses in seemingly secure systems. This incident is not an isolated case. As reported by Reuters, a Russian cybersecurity firm called Group-IB uncovered that ATMs from several multinational banks across Europe—including those in the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, and the UK—had been compromised. These attacks demonstrate how interconnected systems can be exploited on a large scale. In addition, recent reports from Xinhua News Agency indicate that ATM hacking incidents also occurred in Taiwan and Bangkok, Thailand. In one case, an ATM in Taiwan was hacked, resulting in the theft of $2.5 million (approximately 17.22 million yuan). Another incident in Thailand saw an ATM stolen, leading to the loss of 12 million Thai baht (around 2.33 million yuan). These events underline the global nature of such cyber threats. As the third wave of the global information industry, the Internet of Things is transforming the way people interact with objects through technologies like intelligent perception, recognition, and communication computing. According to data from Gartner, by 2020, over 26 billion connected devices were expected worldwide, with the IoT market reaching a value of $1.9 trillion. However, the more interconnected the world becomes, the greater the risk of security breaches. Beyond ATM attacks, the IoT era has also brought new dangers, as hackers now have the ability to control network servers and personal devices. For example, in 2016, a massive DDoS attack was launched using an IoT botnet, disrupting access to major websites like Twitter, Netflix, and CNN. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security took notice of this threat, as the attack was carried out using a vast number of unsecured IoT devices. Moreover, hackers can exploit smart home appliances, mobile phones, and even autonomous vehicles. In one case, a U.S. university was targeted by a DDoS attack, and investigators found over 5,000 IoT devices on campus, including internet-connected lights and vending machines. This shows how easily everyday devices can be turned into tools for cybercrime. At the 2017 Security Conference, co-founders of Hitcon Girls, Lai Yufang and Shen Qien, emphasized the importance of addressing IoT security. They pointed out that IoT devices often expose more personal data than traditional computers, and a breach could lead to severe consequences. They urged both manufacturers and users to take responsibility for reducing security risks. Zheng Jie, chairman of China Mobile Zhejiang Corporation, also highlighted the need for a comprehensive IoT security framework during the recent two sessions. He noted that while China is actively developing the IoT industry, the current security situation remains concerning. Cyber threats not only cause privacy leaks and financial losses but also pose a risk to national security. In conclusion, as the Internet of Things continues to expand, so do the opportunities for cybercriminals. It is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments to prioritize security and implement robust protection measures. Only through collective efforts can we ensure a safer and more secure IoT ecosystem.

LCD Power Meter Socket

Power Meter is a monitoring and testing instrument which determines the power consumption of a connected appliance and the cost of the electricity consumed.
Built-in 3.6V rechargeable Batteries ( . The purpose of the batteries is to store the total electricity and memory setting
Resetting
If an abnormal display appears or the buttons produce no response, the instrument must be reset. To do this,
press the RESET button.
Display Mode
Entire LCD can be displayed for about 1 minute and then it automatically gets into Model. To transfer from
one mode to the other, press the FUNCTION button.
Mode 1: Time/Watt/Cost Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays the current electricity costs which ranges in O.Ocost 〜 9999cost. It will keep on O.OOcost before setting rate without other figures.
Mode 2: Time/Cumulative electrical quantity Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.
LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which
means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current cumulative electrical quantity which ranges in 0.000KWH 〜 9999KWH without other figures. LCD on third line displays"DAY"- "1 'Will be showed on numerical part(the other three figures will be showed at carry) which means it has cumulated electrical quantity for 24hours(one day). The rest can be done in the same manner untill the maximal cumulative time of 9999 days.
Mode 3: TimeA^bltage/Frequency Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on second line displays current voltage supply (v) which ranges in 0.0V 〜 9999V .LCD on third line displays current frequency (HZ) which ranges in 0.0HZ 〜 9999Hz without other figures.
Mode 4: Time/Current/Power Factor Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones.LCD on second line displays load current which ranges in 0.0000A 〜 9999A. LCD on third line displays current power factor which ranges in 0.00PF 〜 LOOPF without other figures.
Mode 5:Time/Minimum Power Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on
