It's amazing to me just how much of "security" is an illusion, random happenstance, and just being really lucky. Considering how open, exploitable devices like this represent a significant public risk from their ability to be used to launch attacks on others, it would seem that it is high time for public regulation bureaus with the authority to issue shutdown notices and in extreme cases sequester non-compliant systems. We have radio broadcast regulators that will come physically to a pirate radio station and shut it down. We have registration and inspection systems for vehicles running on public roads to ensure a minimum safety standard. We need to do the same for the public information network.
