Malware infects the global Internet of Things and forces the European Union to develop new regulations
Stop Valves are closed by screwing a rubber gasket down onto a seat in the middle of the valve. Pros only use small versions that act as shutoff Valves for fixtures such as sinks and toilets and outdoor sillcocks. Flow is inefficient because of the circuitous route the fluid (water, in most cases) has to follow. It's important to orient the valve in the right direction with the arrow (cast into the side of the valve) aligned with flow direction. That way, water flows against the bottom of the rubber gasket. If the valve is put in backward, the flow will force the gasket away from the top of the valve.

Catherine Stoop, the European dynamic website (Euractive), said that the European Commission encourages companies to create tag systems for approved, secure IoT devices. The EU legislature hopes to enact laws and regulations to force companies to comply with safety standards and to ensure the privacy of the Internet of Things and eliminate security threats through a multi-pronged authentication process.
The latest threat is the so-called "Mirai" powerful malware that infects physical network devices worldwide. The analysis report released by Flashpoint, a network security intelligence company, believes that the main problem is that even if the IoT device user changes the default certificate, it can still invade the device through the Internet. A Flashpoint spokesperson stated that the problem with this type of device is that users cannot change their passwords on their own. The password is written in the firmware. At present, the password tool has not been released and the certificate is not even visible on the screen. This is also a problem for various connected devices. Users still use the default user name and password, making it easily a target of cyber threats. Dibor Kleiner, deputy director of the European digital economic commissioner Gunther Ottinger’s office, said that it is not enough to focus on only one IoT component. It needs to focus on the entire network and cloud, and it needs to establish a government framework to obtain certification.
