No idea if this would work, but could people theoretically just ping flood the IOT devices involved to mitigate the attack?
They run some sort of web server since most devices provide some web interface, so clearly there's a port open which could be hit if the IP is know, and with the shoddy security in these devices I'd wonder if their local (likely low performance) hardware would be susceptible to something as simple as a ping flood attack.
