How are the manufacturers not to blame? One way or another, these devices are getting hacked. Only most of the time, they're taking down Playstation Network or GitHub rather than being bricked. Attacks on devices that have hardcoded weak credentials online aren't an event or an act. They're a force of nature, like erosion. No-one would be happy with someone building bridges that don't account for erosion. Nor is it ok to ship something that connects to the internet and doesn't account for the millions of automated bots that are prowling the web 24/7 looking for insecure devices. The manufacturers are 100% to blame, and the worst thing is that they're not the ones that deal with the fall-out – innocent companies and consumers are.
