Half a billion enterprise IoT devices vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks

Half a billion Internet of Things (IoT) enterprise devices are susceptible to DNS 'rebinding attacks' that give remote attackers a way to get around firewalls and gain access to vulnerable devices on a local network. That's according to security outfit Armis, who states in a fresh report that enterprises are even more exposed than consumers thanks to devices that are used in the workplace such as IP phones, printers, networking equipment, and cameras. These devices apparently put enterprises at risk from attacks, data exfiltration, and takeover from a Mirai-like worm attack.
