Security of IoT projects comes to the fore. things in one bottle for this technological segment not to be interesting to hackers - a huge number of sensors/devices, branched communications, distributed data processing centers, a large-scale effect from an attack.

— Svetlana Ivanovna, we received an e-mail from the prosecutor's office. It says: "You need to conduct an audit of your company's compliance with the requirements for the protection of critical information infrastructure in accordance with the Federal Law... In case of refusal, articles may be applied to you..." Where did it go?
— Forward it to me, print it out, and add it to japan whatsapp data inbox. And yes, forward it to the security guys, lawyers, and... What is KII?
— According to the Federal Law, this is critical infrastructure.
- Oh! Then send it to the Council members.
- Fine!
Everyone who received the letter opened it. Of course, the letter was from the prosecutor's office! They followed the link. And at that time, somewhere, the attacker who sent it was smiling, rubbing his hands. The attack was a success! The director's secretary wasn't the only one who received the malicious software. No one expected such luck. Launch it? No, it's not worth it, we'll launch it later, and for now... let the malware sleep for now. We'll launch it on the weekend or after the New Year, when everyone's head will be hurting from the holidays.
