The IoT Age: When Everyday Devices Become Targets

Smart technology has made everyday life more convenient, but it has also created new openings for cybercriminals. The recent cyberattack on French supermarkets showed how hackers can remotely take control of connected refrigeration systems, raising temperatures, spoiling fresh and frozen food, and even triggering fires. What once seemed like a harmless “smart” device can become a serious risk when it is connected to the internet without strong security. This incident is a warning that the Internet of Things is not only about convenience. It is also about protecting the systems we depend on every day.
