Cybersecurity threats often exploit overlooked devices like IoT appliances rather than traditional targets. These devices, often unsecured, can be gateways for attackers who gather data quietly. High-profile breaches, such as the Las Vegas casino hack via an unsecured fish tank, highlight these vulnerabilities. To mitigate risks, organizations should monitor devices, change default credentials, segment networks, and advocate for better security standards, reducing potential cybercrime exposure.
