— The floor is given to Rita. What will you talk about?

After all, today's users of various devices are mostly representatives of the consumer culture. If something breaks, the owner of the thing simply throws it away, without thinking about the possibility of repair or cleaning the device, removing their personal data.

As you know, hard drives full of data, phones with contact books and owner data, as well as "smart" devices with saved passwords and logins are sent to the dump. Since a rare user uses more than 2-3 logins and passwords, such gadgets can become a source of valuable information for hackers.

We have already shown here what valuable data we jamaica whatsapp data recovered from found hard drives, flash drives, mobile phones. Alas, people are still as careless. But today we will talk about a new generation of such devices. About Internet of Things (IoT) devices and, in particular, about our research of used "smart" light bulbs found on a used sales site.

We bought a smart bulb L for 30 imperials and set it up using the corresponding app. In particular, we connected the bulb to Wi-Fi. Then we disconnected it and disassembled it.

- And what was your goal?

— We wanted to understand what can be extracted from the memory of such a bulb and how safe it is to throw them away. And whether it is worth throwing them away at all. Our goal was the control board. Of course, it took a lot of work to get it out and clean it from the glue. Then we identified the device. And we found its description and SDK on the Internet. As it turned out, access to the wireless network was stored in an open form.
