Abstract
Recently, the development of smart home technologies has played a crucial role in enhancing several real-life smart applications. They help improve the quality of life through systems designed to enhance convenience, comfort, entertainment, health of the householders, and security. Note, however, that malware attacks on smart home devices are increasing in frequency and volume. As people seek to improve and optimize comfort in their home and minimize their daily home responsibilities at the same time, this makes them attractive targets for a malware attack. Thus, attacks on smart home-based devices have emerged. The goals of this paper are to analyze the different aspects of cyber-physical threats on the smart home from a security perspective, discuss the types of attacks including advanced cyber-attacks and cyber-physical system attacks, and evaluate the impact on a smart home system in daily life. We have come up with a taxonomy focusing on cyber threat attacks that can also have potential impact on a smart home system and identify some key issues about VPNFilter malware that constitutes large-scale Internet of Things (IoT)-based botnet malware infection. We also discuss the defense mechanism against this threat and mention the most infected routers. The specific objective of this paper is to provide efficient task management and knowledge related to VPNFilter malware attack.
Highlights
In the near future, it is calculated that millions of people around the world will live in smart homes; home security and comfort should be improved using this technology
It is possible to get in touch with friends and families instantly from anywhere in the world, know the route to an unknown destination in a snap, and facilitate the day-to-day operations inside the home thanks to the smart home based on the internet of things (IoT) technology
We have described cyber-attacks on smart home devices, for which the number of reported instances of malicious attacks tends to increase; experts in cyber-security and researchers routinely uncover vulnerabilities used by cyber threats that could compromise consumer privacy, safety, and security
Summary
It is calculated that millions of people around the world will live in smart homes; home security and comfort should be improved using this technology. A smart home is a home based on the integration of electronic devices connected to each other with internet, wi-fi, or Bluetooth, and so on. Technology has radically changed the way people relate to the environment, thanks to the internet. It is possible to get in touch with friends and families instantly from anywhere in the world, know the route to an unknown destination in a snap, and facilitate the day-to-day operations inside the home thanks to the smart home based on the internet of things (IoT) technology. The human being came to use the internet and various technological tools in a malicious way
