> I think it is already illegal to participate in DDOS. While it is unlawful to knowingly or intentionally participate in a DDoS, what I'm talking about is the potential of also "criminalizing" (in the sense of a speeding ticket, not jail time - an infraction, not a misdemeanor or felony) using a vulnerable device that is then hijacked by an attacker. Like you, I don't think it's a realistic outcome; I'm merely brainstorming how one could make this a consumer problem through economics.
