Cyber Byte of the day Cyber Bytes sheds light on a growing concern. Hackers are increasingly targeting smart home devices, compromising privacy and even causing disruptive scenarios. From eavesdropping on conversations to manipulating thermostats, the potential threats are diverse and unsettling. The Vulnerability: Many smart home devices have weak security protocols, making them easy targets for hacking. Once compromised, attackers can access audio and video feeds, control devices remotely, and disrupt normal functionalities. Stay Secure: Choose devices with strong security features and update firmware regularly. Use complex passwords and enable two-factor authentication. Disable features you don't use and consider segmenting your smart devices on a separate network. #cybersecurity #cyberbyte #cyber #veteranowned #veteran #smallbusiness

Have you heard about Bluetooth impersonation attacks? Bluetooth devices paired with MacOS can be impersonated, which can allow unauthorized third parties to control the MacOS device! 😱 Imagine someone taking control of your Mac by pretending to be your Bluetooth keyboard or headset. Sounds like something out of a spy movie, right? Well, it's real and it's called Bad Bluetooth or Bad KB Attacks. One cool tool mentioned to stop these attacks is Ringfencing™ for Mac Endpoints. It basically stops apps from chatting with each other or the internet without permission. Always double-check when you connect Bluetooth devices. Hackers might not clone your device's MAC address, but they could name their device something super similar to trick you. Has this ever happened to you or someone you know? #cybersecurity #cybersafe #securityeverywhere Sheldon Reynolds --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dedicated to Your Cyber Security Our mission: To protect 1,000,000 businesses from cybercrime by 2026.
