On the legal front, it's worth suing makers of vulnerable devices for negligence.
Where does one sue the no-name Chinese manufacturers of these devices? I have a feeling a lawsuit won't get very far in Shenzhen Municipal Court. There's absolutely no consequences to them building these devices and you cannot expect a solution from them.
- nitrogen 10y agoSue the importers then, and/or file ITC complaints.

- Animats 10y agoNolo Press: "In between the manufacturer and the retailer, there may be any number of wholesalers, suppliers, distributors, or other "middlemen." Each and all are part of the chain of distribution of the defective product, are therefore potentially liable, and should be named as defendants in your defective product lawsuit." Cloudflare can start by suing a retailer. That's likely to result in the retailer pulling all merchandise from the offending vendor, even before the lawsuit gets very far. (Otherwise, they move to a higher tier of negligence and damages for knowingly allowing the problem to persist.) That will start to get the attention of manufacturers.
