Researchers Discover Sensitive Corporate Data On Decommissioned Routers
“Looking at configuration data, 56% of decommissioned routers disposed of and sold on the secondary market contained sensitive corporate data, according to ESET. Of the networks that had complete configuration data available:
- 22% contained customer data
- 33% exposed data allowing third-party connections to the network
- 44% had credentials for connecting to other networks as a trusted party
- 89% itemized connection details for specific applications
- 89% contained router-to-router authentication keys
- 100% contained one or more of IPsec or VPN credentials, or hashed root passwords
- 100% had sufficient data to reliably identify the former owner/operator”

IoT Cybersecurity Bill To Ensure Safety Of Consumer Connectable Products Becomes Law
“Consumer connectable products in the home (smart home assistants, home alarm systems and smartphones) will enjoy a higher standard of cybersecurity as the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 has now been enacted into law, having received Royal Assent on 6th December 2022. The new law applies to all consumer IoT products, including:
- connected safety-relevant products such as smoke detectors and door locks
- connected home automation and alarm systems
- Internet of Things base stations and hubs to which multiple devices connect
- smart home assistants
- smartphones
- connected cameras”
Binaré provides IoT device manufacturers with a platform that checks an IoT device for a wide range of vulnerabilities and security issues (including SBoM/Software-Bill-of-Materials and risky components dependencies) and gives an IoT device manufacturer a detailed report on them.

Army Helicopter Crash Blamed On Skipped Software Patch
“The emergency ditching of an Australian military helicopter in the water just off a beach in New South Wales, has been blamed on the failure to apply a software patch. At approximately 9pm on March 23, a MRH-90 Taipan helicopter operated by the Australian army ditched into Jervis Bay, during what should have been a routine counter-terrorism training operation.”
Binaré highlights that the bigger is the industry, the more complicated and costly are the consequences of the cyber attack.

Open Garage Doors Anywhere In The World By Exploiting This “Smart” Device
“A market-leading garage door controller is so riddled with severe security and privacy vulnerabilities that the researcher who discovered them, Sam Sabetan, is advising anyone using one to immediately disconnect it until they are fixed. Each $80 device, used to open and close garage doors and control home security alarms and smart power plugs, employs the same easy-to-find universal password to communicate with Nexx servers. The controllers also broadcast the unencrypted email address, device ID, first name, and last initial corresponding to each one, along with the message required to open or shut a door or turn on or off a smart plug or schedule such a command for a later time.”
