A Casino’s Database Was Hacked Through A Smart Fish Tank Thermometer

Talking about something fishy :D

A Casino’s Database Was Hacked Through A Smart Fish Tank Thermometer:

A cybersecurity executive has revealed that hackers used an Internet of Things (IoT) connected fish tank thermostat to gain access to a casino’s high-roller database. Darktrace CEO Nicole Eagan told the story to an audience in London last week.

“The attackers used that to get a foothold in the network,” she explained. “They then found the high-roller database and then pulled that back across the network, out the thermostat, and up to the cloud.” The incident raises awareness about the security of IoT objects.
