The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released an article on the risks associated with internet-connected 
devices, commonly referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). FBI warns that cyber threat actors can use unsecured IoT 
devices as proxies to anonymously pursue malicious cyber activities.

As our reliance on IoT becomes an important part of everyday life, being aware of the associated risks is a key part of 
keeping your information and devices secure. NCCIC encourages users and administrators to review the FBI article [ 
https://www.ic3.gov/media/2018/180802.aspx ] for more information and refer to the NCCIC Tip Securing the Internet of 
Things [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST17-001 ].
