"The FBI listed some indicators of compromise (IoCs) in the PSA for consumers to tell if they were impacted. But the average person isn’t running network detection infrastructure in their homes, and cannot hope to understand what IoCs can be used to determine if their devices generate “unexplained or suspicious Internet traffic.” Here, we will attempt to help give more comprehensive background information about these IoCs. If you find any of these on devices you own, then we encourage you to follow through by contacting the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov.

The FBI lists these IoC:

- The presence of suspicious marketplaces where apps are downloaded.

- Requiring Google Play Protect settings to be disabled.

- Generic TV streaming devices advertised as unlocked or capable of accessing free content.

- IoT devices advertised from unrecognizable brands.

- Android devices that are not Play Protect certified.

- Unexplained or suspicious Internet traffic.

The following adds context to above, as well as some added IoCs we have seen from our research."

Electronic Frontier Foundation · FBI Warning on IoT Devices: How to Tell If You Are ImpactedOn June 5th, the FBI released a PSA titled “Home Internet Connected Devices Facilitate Criminal Activity.” This PSA largely references devices impacted by the latest generation of BADBOX malware (as named by HUMAN’s Satori Threat Intelligence and Research team) that EFF researchers also encountered...

Intelligent sensors cut energy use by enabling more efficient decision-making

The passive wireless sensor can perform real-time computations on multiple parameters based on its immediate environment. This innovation allows for smarter, more efficient decision-making in networks of wireless sensors, reducing the need to rely on limited cloud resources

techxplore.comIntelligent sensors cut energy use by enabling more efficient decision-makingYour home's thermostat relies on a sensor to determine when to switch the heat or air conditioning on or off. These wireless sensors are at the core of the so-called "Internet of Things," enabling smart devices to collect and share data.

What will tech actually look like in 2026? 🔮 Forget flying cars. My new Medium article argues the real revolution will be a silent one, as our phones, TVs, and AI finally start working together to create a single, proactive, ambient environment.

These 10 Smart Plug Tricks Made My Home Feel Way Smarter

I only used smart plugs to switch stuff on and off remotely, but that barely scratches the surface. Now I've got routines set up, schedules that save time in the morning, and I can even track how much energy certain devices are using.
