No, 3 million electric #toothbrushes were not used in a #DDoS attack
While a story of a #toothbrush DDoS #botnet taking down a site is amusing (and almost definitely untrue), it’s still a good reminder that threat actors would target any Internet-exposed device. Especially when approximately 17 billion #IoT devices are expected to be connected to the #internet by the end of 2024.

Toothbrushes are a #cybersecurity risk, too: millions participate in DDoS attacks
An unbelievable scenario that actually happened: about 3 million remotely controlled #toothbrushes participated in a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack to simultaneously access and bring down the website of a company in Switzerland, according to Aargauer Zeitung.

«Around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets [and] used in a DDoS attack on a Swiss company’s website. The firm’s site collapsed under the strain of the attack, reportedly resulting in the loss of millions of Euros [...] The toothbrush botnet was thought to have been vulnerable due to its Java-based OS [...] after a #malware infection, these #toothbrushes were press-ganged into a #botnet»

Toothbrush holders, almost invariably, have holes for multiple brushes at the top and then no division whatsoever at the bottom. This means the brushes lean over at all angles, often entangling with each other so they're hard to extract.
