8. IoT Security Flaw Leaves 496 Million Devices Vulnerable
Armis disclosed in June that nearly a half-billion Internet of Things devices at businesses worldwide are vulnerable to cyberattacks because of an old web exploit called DNS rebinding. The cybersecurity startup, which previously discovered the BlueBorne malware attack, said the security flaw allows an attacker to bypass a network firewall and use a victim's web browser to access other devices on the network. The impacted devices include switches, routers, access points, streaming media players, speakers, IP phones, printers and smart TVs.
