Poisoning Attack Risk: Unpatched DNS bug affects millions of routers and IoT devices
According to Bleeping Computer: “A vulnerability in the domain name system (DNS) component of a popular C standard library that is present in a wide range of IoT products may put millions of devices at DNS poisoning attack risk. A threat actor can use DNS poisoning or DNS spoofing to redirect the victim to a malicious website hosted at an IP address on a server controlled by the attacker instead of the legitimate location.”

Tech 50 Finalist
Timesys Named 2022 Tech 50 Category Finalist for Cybersecurity
Each year, the Pittsburgh Technology Council celebrates the most successful and innovative companies in Southwestern Pennsylvania at their Tech 50 Awards event, and this year, Timesys is honored to be nominated and named a Tech 50 Finalist for Cybersecurity! The 2022 Tech 50 Awards event will be held on Wednesday, November 9 at the Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
With more than 20 years of embedded development experience, Timesys’ broad portfolio, embedded expertise, and extensive partner ecosystem are used by over 1000 customers to develop leading products and applications including medical, automotive, industrial, networking, aerospace, and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
At Timesys, we understand how every company that creates new electronic devices is faced with a decision: speed to market, new must-have features, and security. Typically, companies can only pick two. But with tools like Vigiles and the other security services offered by Timesys, companies no longer have to pick between speed to market, new must-have features, and security. They can have all three.
The 2022 Tech 50 Awards event will be held on Wednesday, November 9 at the Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
