Biggest DDoS attack

IoT vendors must improve their security. Or, as Lyndon Nerenberg, an internet engineer, said on the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG), the professional association for internet engineering, architecture, and operations, mailing list, "The way this will get solved is for a couple of large ISPs and DDoS targets to sue a few of these IoT device manufacturers into oblivion." IoT vendors know this. Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology, the Chinese technology company that admitted its webcam and digital video recorder (DVR) products were used in the assault and recalled its webcams, is also threatening legal action against those that try to attach blame for the attack to its gear.

As organizations have grown more dependent on the Internet and web-based applications and services, availability has become as essential as electricity.
