It goes #viral despite the lack of serious resources and information in the original article by Swiss news site.

Until now I still have not seen any evidence of bothet with 3M toothbrushes and their DDoS attack - botnet of this kind and size will be observed very soon.
#Fortinet already said that the toothbrushes botnet was the hypothetical scenario during the interview.
