LoRaWAN Smart Device Networks Susceptible to Hacking, IOActive Researchers Find
Total Telecom – IOActive, Inc., the worldwide leader in research-fueled security services, today 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.
Smart City Alert as Experts Detail LoRaWAN Security Issues
InfoSecurity – Security researchers are warning that the technology underpinning many smart city deployments is susceptible to a range of cyber-attacks, enabling hackers to sabotage infrastructure in potentially life-threatening raids. IOActive’s latest research paper covers LoRaWAN, or the Long-Range Wide Area Network protocol which many low-powered IoT devices use to connect to the internet in scenarios such as smart cities, industrial IoT, smart homes, utilities, vehicle tracking, and healthcare.

LoRaWAN Networks are Spreading but Security Researchers Say Beware
ZDNet – IOActive security researchers say LoRaWAN networks are vulnerable to cyber-attacks despite boastful claims about the protocol’s security features. Security experts have published a report today warning that the new and fast-rising LoRaWAN technology is vulnerable to cyberattacks and misconfigurations, despite claims of improved security rooted in the protocol’s use of two layers of encryption.
LoRaWAN Encryption Keys Easy to Crack, Jeopardizing Security of IoT Networks
Threat Post – New research from IOActive has found that “blindly” trusting the encryption of the widely adopted device protocol can lead to DDoS, sending of false data and other cyber attacks. The LoRaWAN protocol has become standard in the world of industrial IoT because of its support for low-power wireless devices over long distances and its end-to-end encryption technology.
