IoT in Health and Social Care

November 11, 2018

With recent advances in technology and more favourable patient attitudes, healthrelated Internet of Things (H-IoT) has the potential to further flourish in the coming years. Better product design - including miniaturisation of sensors and smaller batteries, alongside regulatory environment on personal data sharing and ubiquitous internet access, have been other contributing factors to the expansion of H-IoT. H-IoT has already been playing a growing and significant role in health management in both the health and social care setting. H-IoT provides numerous advantages to citizens, health and care professionals and facilities. These are wide-ranging, from testing of treatments, actuation of medical devices, to wellbeing and fitness monitoring, which is seeing traction in the commercial space with popular apps and wearables. In combination with its numerous applications and benefits of H-IoT, adoption by medical and social care institutions is increasing.

EyeSpy - Iranian Spyware Delivered in VPN Installers

whitePaper | August 16, 2022

During routine analysis of detection performance, we noticed a batch of processes that respected the same pattern in the process names. These names begin with sys, win or lib followed by a word that describes the functionality, such as bus, crt, temp, cache, init, and end in 32.exe. We later noticed that the .bat files and the downloaded payloads respect the same naming convention. Further investigation revealed the components are part of a monitoring application called SecondEye, developed in Iran and distributed legitimately via the developer’s website. We also found that some spyware components were already described in an article published by Blackpoint [1]. In the article, researchers drew attention to the dangers of legally distributed monitoring software with malicious behavior
