The fall 2016 Mirai botnet compromised more than 300,000 IoT devices to take down several websites in a massive DDoS attack. After the crippling attack, Flashpoint and Akamai worked together with law enforcement to help unravel the crime scene behind the botnet attack.

Threatpost's Tom Spring sits down with Flashpoint's director of security research Allison Nixon, and Akamai's senior engineer Chad Seaman, to discuss how the two worked together and what the industry has learned in the wake of the Mirai attacks.
