> Isn't it OK to name that manufacturer and affected brands? Because it doesn't matter. It costs 0.01USD to change the name of the manufacturer and brand tag,

  So force them to rename. The article acts as slander against long term Chinese companies that haven't renamed themselves and probably do as much or as little as the fake Western Brands to secure boot.

  > Because it doesn't matter. It costs 0.01USD to change the name of the manufacturer and brand tag, or even to no-name at all. I disagree, it does matter. It might not be a silver bullet that prevents this problem from ever happening again, but it helps the public stay away from devices that are already in the market and provides the necessary information to track and avoid manufacturers. > It costs 0.01USD to change the name of the manufacturer and brand tag, or even to no-name at all. It's still the same device. You can identify it by looking at it. It might not prevent further abuses, but it helps counter the ones already in place. There is zero reasons to not name the manufacturer.

  It matters a lot. Like this, the article contributes zero actionable information. Knowing the brand can at least make device owners aware that they should consider switching. Also, the article might just as well avoid mentioning that the brand is Chinese. Like this, this article can be dismissed as slander against Chinese brands in general.
