Hackers are out there already attacking business. Their typical mode of operation is to hack into business computer systems, lock them up so they are unusable and demand payment to unlock them. With the increase in use of smart home devices it is only a matter of time before more hackers start targeting homeowners and making the same ransom demands. Homeowners should be actively securing their home network and smart home devices in order to prevent from being subject to this type of ransomeware attack.
