One my favorite IoT botnet scenarios is an attacker taking control of thousands of ovens/air conditions/other high-wattage devices and using them to cause power outages. https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity18/sec18-soltan.pdf https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurit...
