Ok it is that time of year again, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. One of the biggest Social engineering tools is monitoring what people discard. Criminals of all colours look at the boxes you put out for collection. To the break and enter type criminals that 85" smart tv box says we just spent some big money. to the cyber criminal the box says tech and potential network weak spot. You can't keep all prying eye from seeing your new found toys but you can reduce the numbers. Load the boxes up and take them direct to the recycling centers. If you can store them wait till what the security experts call off peak shopping times. Basically not the holiday season as criminals scour neighborhoods watching the garbage for high value targets. if none of the above is available to you then put them out at the last possible moment. with the popularity of smart devices no longer is your home the target but your network is as attackers look for a wedge to access your network. Hope everyone has a great holidays and remember to be aware.
