Viral news story of botnet with 3 million toothbrushes was too good to be true
Alas, fiction is sometimes stranger than truth. There weren't really 3 million Internet-connected toothbrushes accessing the website of a Swiss company in a DDoS attack that did millions of dollars of damage. The toothbrush botnet was just a hypothetical example that some journalists wrongly interpreted as having actually happened.

Too good to be true, kind of a relief.

DDoSers are using a potent new method to deliver attacks of unthinkable size
Basically, "middleboxes" used for censorship are being used for DDoSing.
These servers—known as middleboxes—are deployed by nation-states such as China to censor restricted content and by large organizations to block sites pushing porn, gambling, and pirated downloads. The servers fail to follow transmission control protocol specifications that require a three-way handshake—comprising an SYN packet sent by the client, an SYN+ACK response from the server, followed by a confirmation ACK packet from the client—before a connection is established.

Russia MUST BE STOPPED! Help Ukraine WIN!
The "official" news in the Russian Federation is mostly fake and we believe it is better to shut them down and let people switch to trustful news.
Please, just open this page and let it be open on your devices. It will flood the Russian propaganda websites and pose a huge load on their infrastructure.
Your browser will be slow. It's ok, don't worry and keep it run. ...
An interesting response to disinformation and propaganda by Ukrain's supporters.
