👉 Io, or Internet of Things, refers to the network of physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity that enable them to collect and exchange data. The danger lies in the increased vulnerability these interconnected devices pose to security threats. As more objects become connected, they create a larger attack surface for hackers, who can exploit vulnerabilities in software or hardware to gain unauthorized access, steal sensitive information, disrupt services, or even take control of critical infrastructure. This interconnectedness also raises privacy concerns, as personal data can be more easily collected and misused without proper safeguards.
