The data breach was notified by Darktrace, a security firm, which stated in its report that the fish tank was connected to the internet and hackers managed to bypass the security. Reportedly, hackers found a way to use an Internet-connected fish tank to steal data from a North America based casino.
However, we had no idea that even real-life fish tanks would prove to be equally dangerous as phishing scams. Phishing is a well-known term in the cyber-security community, and it has got nothing to do with fishing. The weak security of these devices has helped bad guys greatly as data hacks have become so common and regular.
It is a fact that the soaring number of internet-connected devices has made it easier for cyber-criminals to fulfill their malicious objectives without much ado.
