About this video
You thought botnets were just hacker movie nonsense?
Think again.
That “smart” device on your counter?
Yeah… it might be moonlighting in a zombie cyber army right now.
In this short (and slightly terrifying) explainer, we break down what botnets actually are — and how they’re powered by your everyday gadgets like smart fridges, routers, printers, and even baby monitors.
Spoiler alert: Hackers don’t need to break in anymore. They just log into your poorly secured WiFi toaster.
🎯 In under 2 minutes, you’ll learn:
What a botnet is and how it works
Why your smart home devices are a hacker’s dream
Real-world uses of botnets: DDoS, spam, crypto mining & more
How to spot the signs and lock your stuff down
💡 If your microwave starts acting weird, maybe it’s not haunted — maybe it’s pwned.
