Storm Watch | Malware Infected Toothbrushes, Spyware Crackdown and, LOLBins
Summary: This GreyNoise Storm Watch episode examines the widely circulated story of three million malware-infected smart toothbrushes allegedly used to launch a Swiss DDoS attack, a narrative that spread across InfoSec Exchange and Tom's Hardware. The episode also covers Google's Spyware Report and a joint government statement on commercial spyware, Censys analysis of Volt Typhoon and critical infrastructure, Canon's patch for seven critical vulnerabilities in small office printers, and CISA guidance on Living Off The Land tactics.
What's compelling: The toothbrush story shows how a single unverified claim can travel through the infosec community as fact, while the same episode documents state-sponsored compromise of U.S. critical infrastructure and seven critical printer vulnerabilities that need no embellishment to matter.
