Inside Last Week's Cyber Attack: Is Everything Hackable?

The video discusses a significant DDoS attack that occurred using non-traditional devices like IP cameras and DVRs, highlighting the vulnerabilities in embedded devices. It emphasizes the challenges in defending against such attacks due to the lack of security solutions for these devices. The discussion also covers the future of Internet security, the role of companies like Rebalance Security, and the need for comprehensive solutions to protect billions of devices globally.

What was unique about the DDoS attack discussed in the video?

• It targeted only government websites.

• It was the first DDoS attack ever recorded.

• It used traditional computers like laptops and desktops.

• It originated from non-traditional devices like IP cameras and DVRs.

What is a major challenge in defending against DDoS attacks from embedded devices?

• Too few embedded devices to worry about.

• Lack of antivirus software for embedded devices.

• Embedded devices are too expensive to protect.

• Embedded devices are not connected to the internet.

How many embedded devices are projected to exist by 2020?
