Malware And IoT: A Threat To Watch

Malware infected IoT devices present a particular challenge because there is currently no integrated security software that can detect it and no user interface that could inform the user of any issues, Symantec said.

The good news, according to Symantec, is that “news report about spam-sending fridges turned out to be untrue.” It reports that malicious software installed on IoT devices is technically possible, but hardly a threat that they have seen.
