Cybersecurity expert James Lyne has always believed that it is essential to educate people on how cyber criminals operate in the real world.
In the short clip below, James tackles Hacking the Internet of Things:
With the smart home market exploding and nearly all home gadgets being connected to the internet, the door for hackers has become a lot easier to unlock. In this video, along with live demos, James Lyne, Cyber Security Specialist will discuss how your wireless TV is enough of a reason for a cyber-attack to be launched on you and what you need to do to secure yourself.
