This IoT Scanner Shows if Your Device is Vulnerable to be used in DDoS Attacks


I have to admit, I lose sleep at night wondering if my toaster is going to virtually run off and join an IOT BotNet or start a Skynet LAN with the fridge and the TV. What a relief when I read this article that talks about an online scanner  by BullGuard's Internet of Things Scanner that can scan your devices to see if they are public on the Shodan website, an IOT search engine. BullGurad states there could be more than 185 million vulnerable IoT's out there. Time to start practicing safe surfing for your technological children. I think I smell toast burning?
