The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has issued an alert to individuals and businesses about the security risks 
involved with the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT refers to the emerging network of devices (e.g., smart TVs, home 
automation systems) that connect to one another via the Internet, often automatically sending and receiving data.

US-CERT encourages individuals and businesses to review the IC3 Alert [ http://www.ic3.gov/media/2015/150910.aspx ] for 
more information regarding IoT vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques.
