SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FTC IoT Home Inspector Challenge (the ‘‘Contest’’) encourages the public to create a tool that consumers can deploy to guard against security vulnerabilities in software on the IoT devices in their homes. The tool would, at a minimum, help protect consumers from security vulnerabilities caused by out–of-date software. The competition’s purpose is to stimulate innovation and progress in protecting and empowering consumers against security risks associated with IoT devices in the home. A. Background Every day, American consumers use Internet-connected devices 1 to make their homes ‘‘smarter.’’ Consumers can remotely program their smart home devices to turn on their lights, start the oven, and turn on soft music so they return to a comfortable environment when they get home from work. Smart video monitors enable consumers to remotely view their homes, pets, or children. Smart fire and burglar alarms address safety issues through sensors and alerts. And smart thermostats can automatically adjust temperature settings depending on the time of day and presence of people in the house. To tie all these devices together, smart home platforms are also beginning to proliferate across the marketplace. While these smart devices enable enormous convenience and safety benefits, they can also create security risks. For example, press reports from October 2016 demonstrated how smart devices could be used in ‘‘botnets’’ to disrupt the Internet.2 This incident demonstrated that lax IoT device security can threaten not just device owners, but the entire Internet. In another incident, a group of hackers allegedly gained unauthorized access to routers manufactured by the tech company ASUS and left a text file warning stating, ‘‘Your Asus router (and your documents) can be accessed by anyone in the world with an internet connection.’’ 3 The FTC announced a 1 As used herein, ‘‘Internet-connected,’’ ‘‘IoT,’’ or ‘‘smart’’ devices are devices other than desktop or laptop computers or smartphones. 2 See, e.g., ‘‘Americans uneasy with IoT devices like those used in Dyn DDoS attack, survey finds,’’ Tech Crunch, Darrell Etherington (October 24, 2016) (stating that a ‘‘coordinated botnet attack effectively choked internet access to a large number of popular sites’’ and was attributed ‘‘in large part due to the spread of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices’’), available at https:// techcrunch.com/2016/10/24/americans-uneasywith-iot-devices-like-those-used-in-dyn-ddos-attacksurvey-finds/. 3 ‘‘ASUS Settles FTC Charges That Insecure Home Routers and ‘‘Cloud’’ Services Put Consumers’ E:\FR\FM\04JAN1.SGM 04JAN1
