A botnet has hit a popular website with a massive number of GRE-encapsulated packets to perform a DDoS attack News outlets discover a certain type of refrigerator was exploited and used to send…

SoC (System on a Chip) is a specific type of integrated circuit that integrates all components of a computer or electronic system into a single chip, which is a component of a device, not a category for the entire networked appliance.

ICS (Industrial Control Systems) refers to systems used in industrial environments for controlling processes (e.g., SCADA, DCS), which consumer refrigerators are not part of.

Refrigerators capable of sending outbound packets over the internet are characteristic examples of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. IoT devices are physical objects embedded with sensors and software that enable them to connect and exchange data with other systems over the internet, making them potential targets for exploitation in botnet attacks if not properly secured.

MFD (Multi-Function Device) typically refers to office equipment such as printers, scanners, copiers, and fax machines combined into one unit, which a refrigerator is not.
