NOTICE | Let's Protect IoT devices. Menu 日本語 Security management practice (Japanese Only) To those who have received a security advisory (Japanese Only) 日本語 TOP FAQ Recent observation situation To those who have received a security advisory (Japanese Only) Today, not only smartphones and personal computers but also everything around us are connected to the internet. We ask you once again. Are you aware your router is in the crosshairs of malicious actors? You, who optimistically believe, “My computer is all right because I set a password to it.” Unless you take security measures for a router, which can be said to be an entrance to the internet, it is highly likely that your device is involved in damage by a cyberattack. Your device may be invaded without your knowing it and have a back door installed that is used for crimes. You may unwittingly take part in a cyberattack that may do serious damage to the people around you. It is you, not someone else, who can protect yourself and cyberspace from digital risks. Before your router gets hacked. Now! Lock up the gateway. What is NOTICE? The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication, the National Institute of Communications Technology (NICT), and internet service providers keep the internet secure by monitoring the IoT devices that are abused for cyberattacks or have such risks and by promoting security measures for IoT devices. NOTICE alerts the users of the IoT devices that have risks. Those who were alerted are requested to review the management method of IoT devices. (Implemented starting from February 20, 2019) For details of NOTICE (Japanese Only) Risk lurking in routers / network cameras Do you use a password that is easy to guess? If you leave a password that is easy to guess unchanged, people around you may also incur damage. Routers that you can find in any house and office and network cameras used for remote monitoring have a risk of being infected with malware or accessed by unauthorized parties like personal computers. If your router connected to the internet is hacked, you may not only incur damage but also be used as a steppingstone for a cyberattack that may impact the entire society. To prevent such damage, it is important to take basic security measures, such as raising the safety of your password and updating the firmware to the latest version. Risk lurking in routers / network cameras (Japanese Only) Example of compromised routers / network cameras (Japanese Only) System and standards concerning routers / network cameras (Japanese Only) If you have received a security advisory from NOTICE Immediate action to review security settings is highly recommended. Then, continuous management is needed. To those who have received a security advisory (Japanese Only) If you have received a security advisory from NOTICE, your IoT device, such as a router or network camera, is highly likely to be abused for cyberattacks. This website can diagnose a safe management method by type and confirm countermeasures that can be immediately implemented. Security management practice of routers / network cameras (Japanese Only) Safety of NOTICE To protect the safety of your device and cyberspace. NOTICE monitors only the IoT devices connected to the internet by global addresses. It also monitors IoT devices in a manner that they will not be adversely affected, and alerts users in a manner that the users will not incur any loss.

Collaborative project What is “am I infected?” This is a service run by the Research Center for Information and Physical Security of Yokohama National University to diagnose infections and the risk of malware. Am I infected? can diagnose infections with or the risk of malware. Let’s check to see if suspicious communication has been carried out within the past 24 hours. “Am I infected?” is an external website. The result of a diagnosis using “am I infected?” is excluded from support by NOTICE. For the diagnosis result, contact “am I infected?” Contact point: ynugr-cyberpcr[atmark]ynu.ac.jp Transition destination: https://amii.ynu.codes Move to “am I infected?” TOP NOTICE is a project aimed at the mitigation of botnets by improving the security management practice of the IoT device connected to the internet.
