This article is strange & many details are lacking. All the big smart toothbrushes use BLE and are not WiFi-connected. Tried to fact-check the article, but nothing.
A bunch of BLE chips are also WiFi capable, so not ruling out that someone compromised the firmware to enable WiFi functionality, but I wonder how they were able to connect to WiFi to trigger a botnet in the first place.
Quite skeptical of this article, while the premise of the danger of IoT devices still remains, nonetheless.

Why does it matter? Embedded Java is quite popular. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_Java

Found this on Reddit and thought it belonged here as well... I actually wanted to do this some years ago but gave up as I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks! We use WP Engine to host the site, which they have a pretty nice system set in place to host WordPress. They have a page on their system architecture here: http://wpengine.com/our-infrastructure/
Basically, it just comes down to caching in a brilliant way. But other than that, we did not do anything special to WordPress itself.
