UK sets precedent as first country to outlaw default weak passwords on IoT devices


Seven years ago, the United States experienced a significant cyberattack, leaving popular websites like Twitter, CNN, and Netflix inaccessible on October 21, 2016. Initially, suspicions pointed towards a powerful state actor, but the reality revealed a distributed-denial-of-service attack targeting Dyn, a vital provider of Domain Name System (DNS) services.

Although the attack lacked sophistication, its impact was substantial. The assailants utilized a botnet named Mirai, composed of various internet-connected consumer devices, to flood Dyn’s servers with massive amounts of traffic. Mirai, created by a trio of young U.S. citizens, highlighted the dangers of lax security practices among Internet of Things (IoT) manufacturers, exploiting default usernames and passwords to infect around 300,000 devices.
