[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] [Just for Info] DDoS Attacks against Dyn - Schneier on Security

In all honesty, I do not believe this attack showcases an issue with the 
DNS industry assembled within ICANN. This shows a much bigger problem 
with the manufacturers of IoT gear that is too easy to get into. The 
devices must be made secure to prevent "bad actors" from gaining access 
and weaponizing them. As long as babyphones and electric feetwarmers can 
be hacked from remote, they will be and nothing we as the DNS industry 
do will stop that.

Best,
Volker
