Statista portal predicts their number will exceed 29 billion by 2030. The most commonly used preemptive tactic is adding firewall rules that block incoming connection attempts.

Another example seen this year was KV-Botnet , which was deployed on vulnerable firewalls, routers and IP cameras and used to conceal the malicious activities of Volt Typhoon, the actor behind it. Additionally, IoT devices frequently run on embedded systems with firmware that can be easily analyzed for vulnerabilities.
