Official sources said the Home Ministry is likely to review the the methodology adopted to conduct the security profiling of political leaders.

Government on Monday countered the Congress charges of snooping on Rahul Gandhi saying it was making a "mountain out of what is not even a molehill" as information collection was part of a transparent security profiling used on 526 VIPs, including Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Ministers.

In the Rajya Sabha, the issue was raised by Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad who said Rahul had been a SPG protectee since his father Rajiv Gandhi became Prime Minister and it was "beyond comprehension" why the police was only now collecting such information on him like his shoe size, colour of hair, habits, his associates, friends and aides.

Official sources said the Home Ministry is likely to review the the methodology adopted to conduct the security profiling of political leaders.

Unwanted questions may be removed from the proforma and new relevant questions can be added, sources said.

Besides, in case of MPs, the secretariates of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha could be taken into confidence while doing the procedure with regards to Parliamentarians, sources said.

The Home Ministry is expected to convene a meeting to review the process of conducting the security profiling of political leaders and take appropriate decisions, sources said.

Responding to the charges, Leader of Rajya Sabha and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in both Houses the police has been collecting such information since 1987 on VIPs living in Lutyens Delhi through a proforma as part of a transparent security profiling.

Security needs and profiling should be left to security experts and "we should not attempt to become one", he said, adding "the issue raised is making mountain of what is not even a molehill."

The proforma, which was revised in 1999, has been used to profile former prime ministers H D Dewa Gowda, I K Gujral, Manmohan Singh and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The same was also used to profile Congress President Sonia Gandhi in October 2004, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Finance Minister said.

Summary:Research analyzing today's smart home devices has revealed disturbing security implications for consumers.

Symantec

Research into IoT devices has revealed poor security practices which could easily bring down your connected home.

Internet of Things (IoT) and smart home devices are based on the idea of the connected home. From smart fridges which alert you when temperature systems break down or food is going off, or smart thermostats and smartphone-controlled lighting -- the possibilities of IoT are endless. While designed to make daily life more convenient, the industry seems to be running before it can walk -- and basic device protection is being left in the dust.

Companies are churning out devices rapidly, from Google's Nest smart thermostat to Apple and Microsoft's experiments with connected cars. However, we are seeing the same problems with smart devices as we are experiencing with online services -- a lack of basic protection which places users at risk.

On Thursday, security firm Symantec released a white paper (.PDF) which explores how secure our common, connected home devices really are. In a blog post, Symantec security researcher Candid Wueest details the research, in which 50 smart home devices were scrutinised. The researchers found that many of them included basic security problems, including weak authentication and little protection against common web vulnerabilities.

The researchers analyzed smart thermostats, locks, light bulbs, smoke detectors, energy management devices and hubs, but the report's findings could also apply to other IoT devices including security alarms, surveillance camera, broadband routers and network attached storage (NAS) devices.

Symantec found that none of the 50 devices analyzed used mutual authentication or enforced strong passwords. In addition, some devices even prevented the user from setting up strong passwords on the cloud interface by restricting authentication to only a simple four-number PIN code -- and none supported two-factor authentication. Coupled with no password brute-force attack mitigation, most devices could be accessed easily by hackers.

In addition to a lack of strong authentication, many smart home web interfaces "suffer from well-known web application vulnerabilities," according to the researchers. While testing 15 IoT cloud interfaces, the team found these devices contained severe vulnerabilities. Symantec discovered and reported 10 vulnerabilities related to issues such as remote code execution, remote file inclusion (RFI), and SQL injection. One device which caused concern in particular was a smart door lock which the team was able to open remotely across the web without knowing the password.
