The government would love to just stop shark attacks, bathtub electrocutions, falling down stairs, etc.
OK I guess I see you point, because stopping those things hopefully means that those people will live longer and pay more into the tax system.. gotcha.
Not just that, but death is expensive. It has big impacts to the economy. And worse (economically) are injured people who can't work any longer but aren't dead.

Absolutely, the injured are the worst for the economy.

Perhaps this isn't Krebs <3's The IoT so much as The IoT <3's Krebs going by how much love was sent his way. ..
Like fanboys over their favourite boyband, many unwanted advances were made on Mr Krebs by a sea of IoT devices. Attempts to rebuff these advances were made and did indeed work for a while but the "sea of love" could not be held back and Mr Krebs was forced to deploy countermeasures, advertising his address had changed to 127.0.0.1. The devices, giddy with excitement, returned home thinking that Mr Krebs was waiting for them only to find it empty and void of Mr Krebs.
Many devices were so driven to distraction that they kept pouring out their love for Mr Krebs for hours.
When asked for comments and feelings on the matter Mr L. G. Refrigerator could only answer with "2x 2L Full Cream Milk, 1L Orange Juice, Cheese, 2x 3L Ice Cream" and a Blue Screen of Death. Clearly taking it's devotion to Mr Krebs into the next boot cycle.
Mr M. Ocean, a security camera, who works the alley way shift near the harbour masters office was also responded to our request with "Motion detected: IMG_201609_32156.jpg". Incidentally, it appears that an orange tabby cat has been stealing fish from the local fishermen.

OVH are reporting they were hit by a 990Gbps IOT-based DDOS. Hurrah, its the f***[moderated] DDOS Olympics.

That' a new record, holy cow.

And the internet is still standing? Wasn't 900Gb/s the theoretical threshold for an internet ending event? Trying to find the article on it.

That's not really that much data. Not any longer. I mean you could have that much of a DDoS in a neighbourhood without even hitting the Internet backbone! Netflix streams far more than that continuous!

Wow. You're saying there are neighborhoods that have in excess of 900 Gb/s connections to the backbone? I suppose Google Fiber to truly allow a neighborhood, each house to have 1 Gb/s themselves would potentially need more than 900 Gb/s connection.. but damn, lol

You can get a 100Gb/s connection in Cleveland, OH of all places, so yeah.

Yup, that's not that much these days.

Exactly. I had 10Gb/s links all over the place over a decade ago. They were rare and expensive, but they were there. Today, that stuff is pretty reasonable.
