COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -The Internet of Things is the network of devices with the ability to connect and exchange data. The Internet of Things increases our vulnerability to cyber attacks.

Detailed explanation-2: -IoT devices are particularly vulnerable to network attacks such as data thefts, phishing attacks, spoofing and denial of service attacks (DDoS attacks). These can lead to other cyber security threats like ransomware attacks and serious data breaches that can take businesses a lot of money and effort to recover from.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the biggest risks associated with IoT is unsecure communications. Data transmissions between devices is susceptible to interception by third parties. This could allow threat actors to gain access to sensitive information, like user passwords or credit card numbers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Web-based attacks It is the attack in which some data will be injected into a web application to manipulate the application and fetch the required information. Example-SQL Injection, code Injection, log Injection, XML Injection etc. DNS Spoofing is a type of computer security hacking.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cyber attacks can be prevented by being aware of the various types of protocols, exploits, tools, and resources used by malicious actors. In addition, knowing where and how to expect attacks ensure you’re creating preventative measures to protect your systems.
