A research group led by Associate Professor Katsunari Yoshioka of the Graduate School of Environmental Information, Yokohama National University has begun to provide researchers with observation data of cyber attacks on devices that make up the Internet of Things (IoT).
According to Yokohama National University, Associate Professor Yoshioka and his colleagues have developed a decoy system for observing cyber attacks from IoT devices infected with Malware and a system for observing reflective distributed service sabotage attacks in real time, and have observed the actual state of cyber attacks.
So far, we have provided the information to more than 30 research institutes in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, but this time, we are providing it free of charge for the purpose of advancing cyber security research and development, collected by the decoy system. Over 17 malware samples and over 280 million malware download URLs.At the same time, the actual state of the latest cyber attacks is published on the website.
Cyber attacks are occurring all over the world, and in recent years all devices have been connected to the Internet, so the number of devices damaged has increased.If nothing is done, there is a risk that a wide range of serious damage will occur in daily life and economic activities, and there is a need to establish highly practical cyber security that observes and analyzes increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks and takes countermeasures.
Data on actual cyber attacks are useful for taking countermeasures, and Associate Professor Yoshioka and his colleagues say that providing data will help promote research and development.
