How to treat hackers cracking smart locks when home security upgrade?
The concept of smart home has gradually become hot, but with the development of the smart home industry, security issues have gradually emerged. Some time ago, a video of professional hackers simulating attacks on smart door locks, electronic cameras and other smart home products appeared on the Internet, which attracted the attention of many people. This hacker attack video is an attack experiment carried out in a laboratory by network security experts at the recent China Internet Security Conference.
Is the smart lock in real life really easy to crack like in the test? In the era of the explosion of smart locks, how should we rationally treat this incident of hackers cracking smart locks?
1. When hackers attack the smart lock, it becomes a social game
Recently, the incident of repeated attacks on smart locks has aroused everyone's attention. This kind of attention also shows that consumers' attention to and acceptance of smart locks has increased significantly compared with previous years. In the past two years, smart locks have become more and more popular in the domestic market, and have been widely used in domestic mid-to-high-end residential areas, office buildings, government agencies, and other use scenarios. After becoming a star category, smart locks have also encountered many doubts, including concerns about smart locks needing to be connected to the Internet. Of course, this concern is not limited to smart locks. Almost all new products that require networking have experienced consumer suspicion when they came out.
2. Smart locks are already a revolutionary advancement than mechanical locks
Security experts cracked a smart lock. It is not worth panic and denial of this emerging industry. In any field, security is relative. World-renowned technology giants such as Google and Microsoft are still exposed to vulnerabilities by hackers from time to time. Compared with traditional mechanical locks, the current smart locks have a revolutionary improvement in safety performance.
Most of the current smart lock products have multiple unlocking methods such as fingerprints and passwords, as well as safety settings such as anti-test opening, anti-prying, and explosion-proof. Their overall safety performance far exceeds that of mechanical locks. For remote attacks that hackers often use, the new standard of the Electronic Lock Inspection Center of the Ministry of Public Security also has new safeguards for smart locks in a networked state.
In addition, smart locks have also completed the transition from passive security in the era of mechanical locks to active defense in the era of smart locks. Through the connection with Smart Maoyan, the smart lock can actively send an alarm reminder of abnormal conditions to the user. After receiving the reminder, the user can view abnormal information such as someone hovering in front of the door for a long time and someone trying to open the lock in real time.
