[AusNOG] The shape of DDoS to come

[Nick Stallman]

Yes there is.
There are a few keywords to focus on however.

Like 'part'. Technically if just a single IoT device was part of the 
attack then the media will say it was a IoT attack.

And 'device'. If you start calling security DVR's IoT devices (arguably 
they aren't, they are a server) then yep a few thousand of them took part.

I could be wrong but my impression was the bulk was traditional DDoS and 
not mostly IoT.
