NgoLwesihlanu olwedlule, iningi lenu lihlushwe yimiphumela yokuhlaselwa okukhulu kwezinsizakalo eziningi ze-intanethi ezenze ukuthi iSpotify, Twitter, WhatsApp namakhasi amaningi ewebhu angatholakali. Yize lokhu kuhlasela bekuqondiswe e-United States, imiphumela ingahle izwakale emhlabeni wonke, futhi okokuqala kusetshenziswe amadivayisi ukuthi kuze kube manje awukaze ubambe iqhaza eliphambili kulokhu kuhlaselwa kwe-cyber: i-intanethi yezinto. Ukuphepha kwalawa madivayisi kanye nezivumelwano abazisebenzisayo ukuxhuma kwi-intanethi kwabuzwa, futhi kulapho i-Apple isebenzisa khona ukukhombisa isifuba sayo futhi ikhombise ukuthi i-HomeKit, umthetho olandelwayo wayo we-intanethi yezinto, iphephile ngaphandle kokugxekwa akuthola njengenjwayelo ngokuzimisela kwakhe ukudala njalo "izingadi ezivaliwe" ngezivumelwano zakhe.
Ngabe lawo madivayisi amancane esinawo ekhaya futhi axhuma kwi-inthanethi ahlobene ngani nawo? Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi i-thermostat, i-smart bulb, noma irekhodi le-TV libe yicala ekuhlaselweni okukhulu kwe-intanethi? Yebo, ngoba iningi lisebenzisa izinqubo zokuxhuma ezinokuphepha okuphansi kakhulu, kwesinye isikhathi ngisho okungenalutho, ezisuswa kalula ngabaduni futhi ezibavumela ukuthi bazisebenzisele ukuhlasela kwabo. Ukuhlaselwa kwe-DDoS njengalokhu okwenziwe ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule kudinga izinkulungwane zamakhompiyutha zithumela izicelo kuseva efanayo ukuze zigcine zikuwisa. Abaduni basebenzisa amakhompyutha wabasebenzisi abangene kuwo ngohlobo oluthile lwe-malware efakwe kubo, futhi ngaleyo ndlela babe yingxenye yenethiwekhi yakho ukuwasebenzisa kulokhu kuhlasela.
Kepha kuthiwani uma esikhundleni sokufaka i-malware kumakhompyutha wabanye abasebenzisi, bekulula ukufinyelela kukhamera yokuqapha izingane noma amarekhodi wethelevishini axhunywe kwi-inthanethi? Yilokho kanye okwenzeke ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule. Iningi lalawa madivayisi linemininingwane yokufinyelela yohlobo "umlawuli / umphathi" futhi abasebenzisi abawashintshi lapho bewalungiselela.Kungenxa yokuthi abakwazi noma ngoba abakwenzi. Abanye baze bashintshe le mininingwane yokungena bahlala kude ngokufinyeleleka kalula kubaduni abanolwazi.
Yini ehlukile ngamadivayisi we-HomeKit aqinisekiswe yi-Apple? Izici zayo zifaka ukubethela okuphelele kokuphela kokuphela, ama-chips angenantambo avikelwe, ukufinyelela okuvikelwe okukude, nezinye izindlela zokuphepha eziqinisekisa ukuthi azikwazi ukusetshenziselwa lokhu kuhlasela, noma okunye. Inkinga ngalesi simo esidalwe yilawa madivayisi axhumene nokuvikeleka okunjalo ukuthi uma kungenjalo nabasebenzisi bakho bazi ukuthi bayingozi ekuphepheni kwawo wonke umuntu, isixazululo siyinkimbinkimbi.
