Three million malware-infected smart toothbrushes used in Swiss DDoS attacks โ€” 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."

Once again techbros find a new way to make the world worse. Now your toothbrush can be part of a bot net. Nobody asked for this, and the suggestion that it should be possible is utterly deranged.
