This news article claims this happened, but my guess is that what actually happened is this:
Journalists talks with guy from fortinet, fortinet guy explains how a bot net of 3 million devices took down a Swiss companies site, Journalists asks what devices, fortinet guy talks about different things (like smart home devices / iot) and mentions that even a smart toothbrush could be part of such a bot net.
And the rest is history.
