Three million malware-infected smart toothbrushes used in Swiss DDoS attacks — botnet causes millions of euros in damages
I meet my 10-year-old self in 1987. I tell him I live in the future of 2024.
“2024! Wow! Do you have flying cars?”
“No.”
“Oh. Well do you have Mars colonies?”
“No.”
“Huh. Well you’ve gotta have a cure for every disease!”
“No.”
“What do you have?!”
“We have a toothbrush that bad people can control remotely.”
“…do I have to grow up?”
“Yes.”

Wasn’t this fake? Like a “what if” scenario that someone took seriously and then went viral?

Fake or not, it’s really damn plausible. I used to be all-in on IoT but these days I’m really trying to keep my house as dumb as possible.
