Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) IoT devices with weak ID/Password settings that are accessible from the Internet by services that enable password authentication, such as Telnet and SSH, have been infected with malware and exploited in cyber attacks.
Therefore, the NOTICE project, which surveys IoT devices with weak ID/Password settings in Japan and alerts device owners, has been launched in 2019, and continuous alerts are being issued.
In addition, to reduce the risk of IoT devices to be released in the future, new security requirements for IoT devices were added to the technical conformity standard in 2020, including the ability to prompt a change in the identification code of the access control function or to set a different identification code for each device.
However, while it is widely known that IoT malware can be infected by weak ID/Password pairs, it is not clear whether the infected devices were used with their default settings or whether the users of the devices set weak ID/Password pairs.
If a user has set a weak ID/Password, simply providing a function that prompts the user to change the password may not be sufficient to mitigate the damage from IoT malware infection.
In this paper, based on the results of the NOTICE survey, we analyzed whether the ID/Password of the device was the default setting or not. We also analyzed the results of user actions based on the logging in by the NOTICE survey and the alert.
