Security experts caution this is a disruption, not a victory: the compromised IoT devices remain vulnerable, botnet operators are likely to rebuild under new identities, and AI has simplified rescaling. Cloudflare data shows DDoS attacks grew 40% year-over-year in Q3 2025. Experts recommend cloud-scale DDoS protection, network segmentation, real-time behavioral detection, and treating IoT devices with the same update discipline as smartphones. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
