In this era, a plethora of digital devices, people and other physical objects have the potential to seamlessly connect and interact on the future Internet of Things. This paper takes a leap forward to proactively discuss the type of threats that we are likely to face in the future Internet of Things. We discuss scenarios of how a botnet of stoves can bring down a power grid, future life threatening health systems and how a distributed denial of service can be used to beat competition and increase revenues of Telcos.enFuture InternetFuture internet threatsInformation securityTelecommunication networksSATNAC 2009Internet of things: emerging and future scenarios from an information security perspectiveConference PresentationDlamini, M., Eloff, M., & Eloff, J.
