Researchers: IoT Botnets Could Influence Energy Prices could influence energy prices. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology presented the research at Black Hat 2020. They describe how an “IoT Skimmer” consists of thousands of connected devices. The researchers stress that this type of attack has not been seen in the wild. Real-word attacks targeting utilities and other firms have been increasing in the past year, according to the research paper, which is based on theoretical scenarios. Researchers say detection and prevention, using a real-time IoT monitoring database, is the key to avoiding IoT Skimmer attacks.”]
