Carlos’s Answer

The list of real world cyber attack issues is one that grows daily.


One that affected customers I worked with was called Mirai. It's malware that infected Internet connected devices like security cameras, routers, and more. The affected devices could then be used as part of a botnet to flood targets with traffic and take them offline for a time - known as a DDoS attack.
