A giant cyber attack can soon hit larger organizations. It detects the checkpoint security company that has detected a large number of infected devices worldwide.
We are in the silence before the storm. According to analysts at the International Security Firm Check Point, which estimates that a major cyber attack is under threat.
Check Points analysts have discovered a large number of infected devices around the world.
There are no computers, but about everyday technology with Internet access like routers, surveillance cameras, alarm systems and other smart home devices that have access to the Internet.
Errit Müller, director and partner of IT security company Ezenta, told the Danish TV channel DR that he did not think the hackers attempt to access private data.
The purpose, however, is to use the infected devices to spread the infection and eventually attack larger organizations and companies.
Your devices are used to attack
An attack can occur because hackers break into an internet-enabled device and cause it to send data to an organization.
If the hackers have control over enough devices and allow them to send data at the same time, it may overload the company's website so that ordinary users can no longer access it.
So even if the hackers are not trying to steal your data, you may be affected when the attack comes.
The Chairman of the Digital Security Council, Henning Mortensen, recommends that you update all your devices as it can make them much more secure.
