Security researchers have discovered a new high-severity vulnerability in Traeger smart grills that could let an attacker burn your BBQ to a crisp or even shut down your grill. This systematic literature review investigates machine learning methodologies for detecting malware in smart homes, with a specific emphasis on identifying common threats such as denial-of-service attacks, phishing efforts, and zero-day vulnerabilities. Smart devices make life easier, but they're also vulnerable to cyberattacks. Learn how to protect your smart home from hackers with these essential security tips. Researchers identified security vulnerabilities in the Traeger Grill D2 Wi-Fi Controller, a device enabling remote grill control via a mobile app. The most critical issue (insufficient authorization controls) allows attackers to potentially manipulate grill settings or shut it down entirely. s such, this paper surveys the available countermeasures that are proposed in the literature to detect and prevent malware in smart home devices. We find that most of the works focus on detecting malware, amongst other threats, by utilising traffic generated by these devices.
