The Verge said The latest security breach in Philips Hue bulbs allows hackers to control individual bulbs, turn them on and off at will, and change The color and brightness. Hackers can do this remotely using laptops with radio transmitters. If a user tries to reset the bulb, remove it from the application, and reconnect, the hacker can deploy the malicious firmware and connect to the target business or home network using the ZigBee wireless communication protocol. Finally, hackers will be able to spread ransomware or spyware throughout the network.
Philips and its parent company said they had fixed a bug in the Hue smart bulb upgrade. Philips said users are advised to check the Hue app to see if official updates are available and, if so, install them. Philips said organizations and individuals must use the latest patches to update their devices and separate them from other computers on the network to protect themselves from these potential attacks and to limit the spread of possible malware.
It is worth mentioning that in 2016, hackers took advantage of a flaw in the ZigBee wireless communication protocol to attack part of the Philips Hue smart lighting system. However, ZigBee issued a statement at that time, saying that the vulnerability had nothing to do with the ZigBee protocol itself, but existed between the supplier's agreements.
