smart home devices were hacked.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s say that again, a little slower this time.\u00a0 Twenty-five percent.\u00a0 Has that sunk in?\u00a0\u00a0In only\u00a0three hours!<\/p>\n<p>On the second day of the lab, the same hackers were asked to try again.\u00a0 This time, the security solution &#8220;Dojo&#8221; was implemented.\u00a0 Dojo is a security program that monitors the WiFi connections and identifies and blocks\u00a0suspicious activity.\u00a0 The same devices that were hacked within three hours the day before, were unable to be accessed.<\/p>\n<p>This study shows how vulnerable many of our smart devices are, and the lack of security the manufactures seem to be implementing to keep these smart devices safe.\u00a0 Fortunately, the only software to secure these devices, Dojo, seems to be doing a sufficient job.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/hackathon-for-smart-homes-in-iot-internet-of-things-2016-3\" target=\"_blank\">Business Insider <\/a>reports these types of studies are critical to bring to light the vulnerabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT).\u00a0 It is believed in most cases, hackers will use IoT vulnerabilities\u00a0to gain access to corporate or government databases and networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIT Media Labs recently conducted a &#8220;hackathon&#8221; into smart homes, and
