You can throw rocks at the windows of any car, put a banana in the exhaust and put superglue in the locks. You can then say that the designers of the car didn't take security seriously. However, we live in a world where anyone throwing rocks through the car's windows or vandalising the car can be caught to then be given a criminal record, possibly involving time in jail. We need a culture of prosecuting people who vandalise computer systems and a police force able to take these things seriously, working internationally as required. As it is we do victim blaming and cover ups instead. If a server or an IOT gadget gets hacked we restore from backups (and don't tell the client) rather than go after the evil wrong doer. I would prefer to see our efforts go into not just better security (encryption everywhere and best practices) but also into the law and order aspect. In that way we can foster a better environment for citizens and business. Any country that gets this together and goes after hackers will have an advantage when it comes to attracting companies that want to have their web services (and coffee machines) secure.
