There are a few keywords to focus on however.<br>
<br>
Like 'part'. Technically if just a single IoT device was part of the attack then the media will say it was a IoT attack.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
I could be wrong but my impression was the bulk was traditional DDoS and not mostly IoT.<span><br>

Is there any evidence to suggest that IoT devices played a part on this DDoS? My understanding is we're still dealing with the same problem as ever; unpatched/secured desktops/routers/switches which when you consider how accessible large amounts of bandwidth is explain the increase in DDoS size.<br>
<br>
Most IoT devices don't enough CPU power to contribute more than 1K sustained. Doesn't mean there's not alot to be done in the security space with IoT, just means there's better targets with greater return.<br>

After Mirai's 1.2Tbps, which is pretty much unmitigateable,<br>
perhaps time for the industry to realise that IoT means we've<br>
arrived at a new age of DDoS. If this is the shape of things<br>
to come, where do we go from here?<br>
