From the post: "According to a recent report published by the Aargauer Zeitung (h/t Golem.de), around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets.

The firm’s site collapsed under the strain of the attack, reportedly resulting in the loss of millions of Euros of business."
