At least users can apply workarounds in that condition. As it stands, there are no options for the owner of the device.
- staticassertion 8y agoThis just shifts the burden to the users, I don't see this as a meaningful solution. I think that there would probably need to be classifications of software. Things like: 1) Is this infrastructure (routers, scada) 2) What level of user data is exposed to this software ? (unencrypted user data, credit card info, etc - we already do this to some extent) 3) What level of exposure exists? (NAT'd, routable, etc) And then start imposing restrictions on software in those cases. But this is very off-the-cuff, obviously it's far more complex than this. But someone needs to be responsible.
