The Shellshock bug has highlighted just how vulnerable the Internet of Things is to attack — but are manufacturers taking cyber threats seriously?

But while the Internet of Things is sweeping the world, a bug known as ‘Shellshock’ has revealed just how vulnerable systems are to attack. Shellshock is a flaw in the code of a software program called Bash, which is installed on non-Windows systems such as Mac, Linux and Unix. In industry, Bash can be found in anything from CAD/CAM software to 3D printers. The flaw affects all Apple Mac computers, around half of all websites and many internet-connected products.
