The largest Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack ever recorded took place last November and was executed by a botnet known as Kimwolf. Irish households that possess a 'dodgy box' or other unregulated streaming devices face increased risk from evolving cyber threats. Everyday home technology, from Android streaming boxes to TV streaming devices, can be compromised by sophisticated, large-scale hacking operations. Unregulated devices expand the attack surface available to cybercriminals, enabling device compromise, botnet recruitment, and mass DDoS campaigns. The growing scale and sophistication of these attacks threaten consumer privacy, service availability, and overall home-network security.
