A malware kit called the Spike Botnet is used to execute DDoS attacks via smart dryers, routers, and other kind of devices that belong to the Internet of Things group. The Spike botnet may target Windows, Linux and IoT devices imperfectly configured. It means that IoT devices may become a potent armament when used by ill-intended persons.
