Communications that you don't know and don't know are frequent at this moment!Wireless LAN router "WRC-2533GHBK2-T" that protects home with security technology
I regularly communicate with the external server ...
You can clearly see that what you thought was "no way!"
With the introduction of the wireless LAN router "WRC-2533GHBK2-T" that appeared from ELECOM, you can now get a device that connects to the Internet in the home at this moment.If you understand it, and judge the communication as dangerous, you can automatically block it.
エレコムのセキュリティ機能搭載無線LANルーター「WRC-2533GHBK2-T」。トレンドマイクロの技術を使ったセキュリティ機能を利用できるIn fact, when you install "WRC-2533GHBK2-T", is the Amazon Fire TV so often communicated with the outside!I am a little surprised.
Of course, most of them seem to be the apps installed on the Fire TV to keep their data up to date, but in my home environment, there were some file -management utility communications, which became a bit of a topic around 2014.(The communication detected this time is judged to be fine and is allowed).
Probably many people have installed security software on their home PCs and smartphones.For this reason, it is unlikely that such a device will have an unauthorized app, and even if it is invaded, it is likely that the communication with the outside can be automatically cut off.
However, PCs and smartphones are now available in the home.There are TVs, recorders, game consoles, audio equipment, STB, HDMI dongle, web camera, NAS, and even light and air conditioning equipment.
In fact, are you taking security measures on devices like Fire TV?Most people will answer "No".So is the author.
However, these devices are communicating with the outside frequently than PCs and smartphones, and without the user noticed.If the vulnerabilities of these devices are left untreated or the unauthorized apps are missing, they may be (already).
The damage caused by "MIRAI", which was targeted by overseas journalists in September 2016, is a good example.The device was manipulated by MIRAI infected with a sweet network camera and router that are located in families around the world, and one day, DDOS attacks were started all at once.
Can you affirm that your home device hadn't participated in this attack?
