The routers of cyber attack families that are attracting attention in Toyota and Ukraine are also "Pay Virus Caution" for free IoT services | Radio newspaper digital

Cyber attacks have been attracting attention again due to the suspension of operation of Toyota and the invasion of Ukraine in Russia.At various industrial sites, IoT equipment, such as robotics and personnel -saving, has been promoted, and safety measures have become an issue.Meanwhile, experts say, "IoT equipment that leads to networks, such as routers and smart appliances in ordinary households, is a surprising hole."

There are many cases where IDs and passwords are left as they are, they do not know the end of support because they do not register user at the time of purchase, and do not get the latest information.Also, even if infected, it continues to work without any change, and the user may not notice.Such users may be damaged by their own damage and other devices.

Therefore, Yokohama National University and IoT security -related ventures, Zero Zero Wan (Shibuya -ku, Tokyo) have launched free malware tests for home routers.

You can check whether the device is infected or in a vulnerable state.It is named "Am I Infecated?" (Amy Infected? "If you enter an e -mail address that receives the test results on a dedicated site, an inspection will be conducted on the IP address used at the time of access.The test results will reach the address within 5 minutes, and will also provide recommended measures in cases where infection is suspected or vulnerable.

In the unlikely event that the infection is suspected, the user will take measures by referring to the recommended measures to be introduced.The cost is free, and there is no additional charge due to options.

This service is a honey pot, which is a decoy system operated by a researcher at Yokohama Country University, and the IoT search engine KARMA (karma), an IoT search engine developed and provided by Zero Zero One.Use and so on.

In malware infection, dedicated agents are also a countermeasure, but the challenge is that the introduction is a bit troublesome.They say, "I would be able to use the effects of the effects of the awareness of the user and the like as a slightly lit countermeasure."

After cyber attacks, Yokohama Country University cooperated with an incorporated association last year and examined what was particularly important, such as monitoring equipment for power generation equipment and water treatment -related devices, and found that it was easy to receive attacks.I found nearly 1000 cases.At the point where the user was identified, we contacted and alerted.The issues were highlighted, as there were many cases where the administrator and the user at the installation location were different, and that the firmware could not be updated without requesting a conservative company.

IoT spreads in various sites such as remote monitoring solutions.Zero Zero One also works on consulting for companies.

This initiative is an industry -academia collaboration service for research and social contribution.Although there is no particular deadline, there are no target counts, but there are already considerable use and inquiries.

The Digital Life Promotion Association (DLPA), which is a member of the router companies, is promoting measures to support automatic firmware renewal of firmware and make IDs and PWs that log in to the management screen unique to each device.

With the spread of remote work, the number of people who use routers and web cameras is increasing, so many people are worried.Fortunately, there was no problem when a reporter tried at a place, but he said, "It is indispensable to confirm that the firmware is up to date," said Katsuyoshi Yoshioka.
