Week 1: The dark web’s criminal minds see Internet of Things as next big hacking prize

From stealing data and issuing ransomware, the hackers have now decided to directly attack people's everyday life physically. Targeting the Internet of Things and its securities vulnerabilities is being used as a way for criminal activities and this may also endanger a lot of people's lives. 

I agree with the writer of the article, I believe that IoT makers should have the obligation to have a system that will update and reinforce the security of their devices. Devices that don't meet those standards and that endanger people's security shouldn't be allowed on the market as many of those devices are used for important tasks such as driving, medical purposes, communications, and so on.
