OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) IoT Top Ten

The OWASP IoT Top Ten highlights the most common security risks faced by Internet of Things devices, like smart appliances and connected gadgets. These risks include weak passwords, outdated software, insecure communication, and lack of proper security updates. Hackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access or control devices, potentially causing privacy breaches or safety issues. The list aims to raise awareness among developers, manufacturers, and users to build, deploy, and maintain IoT devices with better security practices, protecting personal data and physical safety in an increasingly connected world.
