Lo spazzolino da denti e il soffione della doccia sono pieni di virus (che «uccidono» i batteri)
I batteriofagi sono virus che infettano i batteri e si replicano al loro interno
Translated:
Toothbrushes and showerheads are full of viruses (that "kill" bacteria).
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and replicate inside them.

My rutin arrived, along with a batch of toothbrushes?
"A batch?"
Yeah, since they don't expire, I pay less per toothbrush this way.
It's also useful when a partner comes over and then says that they have to go home because they forgot their toothbrush, because I have one on hand just for therm.
Checkmate! :madjoy:
The scariest thing about playing #ArkhamCity in 2024 is realizing that, should he seize power again, "the #verystablegenius" would think it's a great idea and do something either similar, if not worse.
The #ChildSeparationPolicy, in a sense, WAS Arkham City, except the "felons" were colored children. Remember the time they defended not allowing children to get #toothbrushes and #toothpaste?

No, 3 million electric #toothbrushes were not used in a #DDoS attack
While a story of a #toothbrush DDoS #botnet taking down a site is amusing (and almost definitely untrue), it’s still a good reminder that threat actors would target any Internet-exposed device. Especially when approximately 17 billion #IoT devices are expected to be connected to the #internet by the end of 2024.

About 3 million smart #toothbrushes have been infected by #hackers & enslaved into #botnets
The toothbrushes were used in a #DDoS attack on a Swiss company’s website. The firm’s site collapsed under the strain of the attack, reportedly resulting in the loss of millions of Euros of business.
In this particular case, the toothbrush botnet was thought to have been vulnerable due to its Java-based OS

Were 3 million #toothbrushes hacked into a botnet? Or does a #Fortinet spokeschild have egg on his face?
Bizarre stories are flying around, saying a #botnet of #toothbrushes attacked a website. Millions of #IoThings suddenly cried out in terror, somehow squashing a super Swiss site—supposedly.
Or not. It turns out to be untrue. In #SBBlogwatch, we point and laugh. At @TechstrongGroup’s @SecurityBlvd: https://securityboulevard.com/2024/02/toothbrush-ddos-botnet-bollocks-richixbw/?utm_source=richisoc&utm_medium=social&utm_content=richisoc&utm_campaign=richisoc
