Journalists have long been the targets of both physical and cyber-attacksfrom well-resourced adversaries. Internet of Things (IoT) devices are arguablya new avenue of threat towards journalists through both targeted andgeneralised cyber-physical exploitation. This study comprises three parts:First, we interviewed 11 journalists and surveyed 5 further journalists, todetermine the extent to which journalists perceive threats through the IoT,particularly via consumer IoT devices. Second, we surveyed 34 cyber securityexperts to establish if and how lay-people can combat IoT threats. Third, wecompared these findings to assess journalists' knowledge of threats, andwhether their protective mechanisms would be effective against experts'depictions and predictions of IoT threats. Our results indicate thatjournalists generally are unaware of IoT-related risks and are not adequatelyprotecting themselves; this considers cases where they possess IoT devices, orwhere they enter IoT-enabled environments (e.g., at work or home). Expertrecommendations spanned both immediate and long-term mitigation methods,including practical actions that are technical and socio-political in nature.However, all proposed individual mitigation methods are likely to be short-termsolutions, with 26 of 34 (76.5%) of cyber security experts responding thatwithin the next five years it will not be possible for the public to opt-out ofinteraction with the IoT.

Security should be there by default: Investigating how journalists perceive and respond to risks from the Internet of Things
