In the era of rapid Internet of Things (IoT) development, the security challenges associated with connected devices have become more significant than ever. Recently, a Russian bank reported that malicious software had been discovered in ATM machines, allowing them to dispense cash automatically when a specific code was entered. This attack involved a non-physical virus known as "Bespalova," which first emerged in Russia. Unlike traditional malware, this virus doesn't appear as a physical file, making it difficult for standard antivirus programs to detect. As a result, it can remain undetected within infected ATMs for extended periods. This is not the first time ATMs have been targeted. According to Reuters, a Russian cybersecurity firm called Group-IB uncovered that ATMs from major European banks—spanning countries like the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, and the UK—had been compromised. In addition, reports from Xinhua News Agency revealed similar incidents in Taiwan and Bangkok, Thailand. In one case, an ATM in Taiwan was hacked, leading to the theft of $2.5 million (approximately 17.22 million yuan), while another in Thailand resulted in the loss of 12 million Thai baht (around 2.33 million yuan). As the third wave of the global information industry, the IoT is connecting people and objects through technologies like intelligent perception, recognition, and communication. Gartner estimates that by 2020, over 26 billion devices will be connected worldwide, with the IoT market reaching $1.9 trillion. However, as the network becomes more extensive and interconnected, security risks grow proportionally. Beyond ATM attacks, the IoT era has introduced new vulnerabilities where hackers can exploit network servers and personal devices. In 2016, a massive DDoS attack caused widespread website outages across the U.S., including platforms like Twitter, Netflix, and CNN. The attack was carried out using a botnet composed of thousands of IoT devices. This incident caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, highlighting the growing threat posed by insecure IoT systems. Hackers can also take control of personal devices such as smartphones, smart home appliances, and even autonomous vehicles. Any device connected to the internet could potentially be exploited. Verizon, a U.S. telecom company, found that a university had been hit by a DDoS attack involving over 5,000 IoT devices, including smart lights and vending machines. 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 may expose more personal data than traditional computers, and a breach could lead to severe consequences. Both users and manufacturers must take responsibility for reducing security risks. Zheng Jie, chairman of China Mobile Zhejiang Corporation, proposed building a comprehensive IoT security system during this year’s two sessions. He highlighted that while China is actively developing the IoT industry, its security landscape remains concerning. Issues like data leaks and economic losses have already occurred, and the potential for national security threats cannot be ignored. Ensuring the safety of the IoT ecosystem is essential for the future of connected technology.
