LoRaWAN Smart Device Networks Susceptible to Hacking

Digitalisation World – IOActive, Inc has released a new research paper, ‘LoRaWAN networks susceptible to hacking: common cybersecurity problems, how to detect and prevent them’. The researchers found that the LoRaWAN protocol – which is used across the globe to transmit data to and from IoT devices in smart cities, Industrial IoT, smart homes, smart utilities, vehicle tracking, and healthcare – has a host of cybersecurity issues that could put network users at risk of attack. Such attacks could cause widespread disruption or in extreme cases even put lives at risk.
