Spy toothbrushes now. Fudtastic!

3 million smart toothbrushes were just used in a DDoS attack. Really

What's next, malware-infected dental floss? But seriously: It's a reminder that even the smallest smart home devices can be a threat. Here's how to protect yourself.

ZDNET

@ciaranmartin This story is bullshit. A hypothetical example.

While Internet-connected toothbrushes do exist, there is no evidence that (a) there are so many of them in use, (b) they have been used in a DDoS attack, and (c) any threat actors are using them for this purpose.

@bontchev @ciaranmartin Do they even exist? I can only find toothbrushes with Bluetooth. That's not internet connected.

@rogers @ciaranmartin I remember a story about a toothbrush that let you "gamify" your toothbrushing experience. Like, there were "achievements" to complete, including bizarre ones like "brush your teeth in a boat".

It might have used Bluetooth to connect to a phone app, though.
