How do phishing scams target smart city infrastructures, and what vulnerabilities make these systems attractive to attackers?
Phishing scams target smart city infrastructures by tricking individuals into disclosing sensitive information such as passwords, personal details, or access credentials. Attackers often send fraudulent emails or messages that appear legitimate, luring recipients to click on malicious links or download harmful attachments.
Various vulnerabilities make smart city systems attractive to attackers, including outdated software with unpatched security flaws, weak authentication mechanisms, inadequate encryption protocols, insufficient network security measures, and the potential for widespread disruptions due to interconnected systems within smart cities. These vulnerabilities create opportunities for attackers to exploit loopholes and gain unauthorized access to critical infrastructure components.
