IoT Ransomware against Austrian Hotel
Schneier on Security 2017-01-31
Summary:
Attackers held an Austrian hotel network for ransom, demanding $1,800 in bitcoin to unlock the network. Among other things, the locked network wouldn't allow any of the guests to open their hotel room doors. I expect IoT ransomware to become a major area of crime in the next few years. How long before we see this tactic used against cars?...
