Abstract

Cybercriminals now have a perfect target thanks to the growing popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT), which has increased the number of gadgets connected to the internet. In conjunction with the usage of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), every device can get connected to the Internet. With this tremendous usage of devices along with Internet connection, one of the most prevalent forms of cyberattacks that target IoT devices is the phishing attack, which aims to gain owner’s privileges and can make data loss. This study offers a basic analysis of phishing attacks and defenses in the context of the Internet of Things. It discusses the fundamental ideas behind phishing assaults, their types, and characteristics, as well as the most recent trends and methods that cybercriminals are using to carry out these attacks. It also examines the current countermeasures for phishing attacks on IoT devices. This paper summarizes the present state of knowledge regarding phishing attacks in the IoT environment and emphasizes the need for establishing strong defenses against these attacks for IoT devices
