So, das mit dem Zahnbürsten-DDoS hat sich dann laut @404mediaco geklärt:

»To clarify, the topic of toothbrushes being used for DDoS attacks was presented during an interview as an illustration of a given type of attack, and it is not based on research from Fortinet or FortiGuard Labs. It appears that due to translations the narrative on this topic has been stretched to the point where hypothetical and actual scenarios are blurred.«

Auch Bleeping Computer reicht nach:

»FortiGuard Labs has also told BleepingComputer that they have not observed any IoT botnets targeting toothbrushes or similar embedded devices.«
