3 million smart toothbrushes cause millions in damage due to DDoS attack – NotebookCheck.net News
As reported by Swiss German-language newspaper Aargauer Zeitung, the lack of security on smart toothbrushes has now resulted in millions of euros in damage after more than three million infected toothbrushes simultaneously accessed the website of a Swiss company, causing the servers to collapse and the website to be unavailable for four hours. The report cites data from cyber security company Fortinet, which subsequently wrote in a statement that any device connected to the internet is a potential target and can be misused for such attacks.
