The emergence of connected technology has changed the way we live; however, the book, titled From Smart Homes to Smart Attacks: The Dark Side of IoT in Cloud Computing outlines a disturbing reality that is developing as a direct result of the widespread use of connected devices and services.

Unfortunately, as these devices and the associated services become more popular and widely used, they have created an enormous attack vector for hackers and other cybercriminal organizations. The more devices that connect to the internet via cloud computing, the fuzzier the line becomes between what constitutes smart living and what constitutes an opening for cybercriminals to access our personal data, pictures, and identities.
