[Fiware-iot] First botnet of IoT

[thierry.nagellen at orange.com]

Hi all,

Maybe some of you ahve heard or read something about this "first botnet" of IoT. Of course this is an issue that we have never found time to target in FI-Ware despite many requirement from Pascal as Security WPL but I have at least one comment and one question regarding this article:

1.       This article arrived just 2 days after Google published the announcement of Nest Cast financial operation, so to close from my point of view to be really true, especially while Proofpoint claim to have the solution to avoid this

2.       Have you heard before any other concrete example of this kind of attack based on IoT devices, not only botnet but also hack of data?
