With the development of technology, alarm systems in homes and workplaces have started to become more comprehensive. Equipped with new technologies and starting to offer more and more security, alarm systems still have vulnerabilities at some points. One of these vulnerabilities has been detected recently.
Major security vulnerability threatening alarm system
US electronics company Eaton has announced that a researcher has fixed a vulnerability that allowed it to remotely access thousands of smart alarm systems. It turned out that the aforementioned security weakness was caused by the SecureConnect system offered by the Eaton company.
This vulnerability, which occurred in the SecureConnect system, which allows remote access and management of alarm systems, allows access to files, data and user accounts. Experts state that this error can be easily exploited by using systems such as Burp Suite.

Has the e-Government data of 85 million citizens been stolen? Are the allegations made true? Here is the official statement on the subject!
Experts claim that infiltrating this system and adding a user gains access to everything, including the registered user’s name and email address, and the location of each connected security alarm system. Because of this bug, attackers remotely controlled security alarm systems connected to Eaton’s cloud service. among the allegations made.
Eaton confirmed in a security notice posted on its website that the fault was found in their group access authorization system. The company refused to provide information on whether the alarm systems were remotely controlled due to this vulnerability. The security company also did not disclose whether they have a record system to identify issues that arise due to vulnerabilities in the system.
Where there is technology, unfortunately, there are such errors. The fact that this gap is in an alarm system further increases the severity of the situation. So what do you think about alarm systems and possible security vulnerabilities? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
