Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized our interactions with our surroundings. IoT devices, including smart homes and industrial automation, have become very common nowadays. However, with the rise of IoT comes the growing concern of security threats and cyberattacks. This paper examines the worst-case scenarios of cyberattacks on IoT devices, which have led to widespread damage and loss of sensitive information. Through a comprehensive review of past IoT security breaches, we analyze the root causes and attack vectors that enabled these breaches to occur. We also investigate the aftermath of these attacks and their impact on both users and organizations. Our findings reveal that IoT devices are highly vulnerable to various cyber threats, including botnets, ransomware, and distributed denial of service attacks. However, by adopting a proactive approach to security design and implementation, we can significantly improve IoT security and protect against future attacks. This paper aims to raise awareness about the severity of IoT security threats and the potential for us to take control of the situation, emphasizing the importance of proactive security measures.
