<p>Hi,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have been using the DYN attack as a teachable moment for my students, and will speak on the topic of IoT cybesecurity at a confernce at Northwestern University Law School later this week To keep it short, my tweeted reply to a story detailing the attack
method - on Dyn's DNS infrastructure - and a retweet - is pasted below.</p>

Bad IoT is the fault of the cyberattackers; or quick and dirty industry shortcuts compromising....everyone and everything online?

@LeeMcKnight</a> someone has wisely pointed out that this is a tragedy of the commons.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Lee again, summarizing in more or less full sentences what I have been warning about: sloppy/fast and dirty code + cheap. stupid so-called smart IoT devices = a mega-disaster in the making. Now, combining future 5G + sloppy/fast and dirty code + cheap. stupid
so-called smart IoT devices, absent law, technology and policy changes = a rolling series of mega-disasters to put the cheesiest Hollywood disaster movie to shame.<br>
<br>
But yeah, nothing to worry about here folks, Dyn got its DNS back under control after a day. Keep buying and using - bad IoT product and code.<br>
