The same backdoors that owned the devices as a botnet, should be used to brick the devices. And the courts should support that purchasers are entitled to refunds and damages. Your IoT refrigerator got bricked? You can sue for $500 worth of spoiled food. Encourage class action lawsuits and watch how fast this is fixed.

- WildUtah 10y agoYou can build secure devices. All it takes is putting quality engineers in charge. But paying quality engineers isn't fun and they won't work for idiot management. So as long as management doesn't have to pay for the cost of disasters they cause, nothing will be secure. It's the same thing that happened at Hillary's State Department. So I agree: Brick those refrigerators.
