A DDOS attack on my toaster would be quite dangerous actually, what’s the cybersecurity framework to secure my toaster
I tried not to, but it formed a mesh network with the neighbors toaster, and that connected to someone’s dishwasher the next street over, which connected to a washing machine down the block, and so on, until they found a self-aware microwave that just happens to be benevolent but sort of mischievous, and now whenever my toast is done, the Grindr chime sounds off and the toaster asks me to put it back in.
appliences that connect to your internet are supposed to be secured, but cheap Chinese ones usually arent. this means they can easily get hacked and added to a botnet thats used for DDoS attacks. I once saw a screenshot of someone whose washing machine uploaded ~30GB of data per month.
the best thing to do against this is to just not connect them to the internet.
