So does taking a vigilante approach to addressing these devices. It's no different than saying, there is crime in the inner city and It's my duty to handle it.

Ok, lets switch this around. You just rented your new apartment, they didn't change the locks from previous tenant. Now, by default everyone knows you should change locks to include the owner, manager of property, and renter. I, the pr

So what's gained by bricking, disabling, or modifying devices, that couldn't be proven with a simple these devices are vulnerable announcement?

What they get is irrelevant, it's someone using their skill set to make others aware of a flaw. I would argue it's the exact same premise. I'm going to phish people & cause them a financial cost to teach them to be safe.

The point is how do you know the vigilante's fix won't have adverse side effects? EDIT* I agree with the bulldozer analogy.

I would argue, security needs to be a part of planning day 1 rather than looked at as a bolt on prior to involving upper management. It needs to be treated as a core functionality rather than an external concept. The biggest issue I see is

How does your opinion change with Phishing attacks? I'm going to steal funds from businesses by phishing vulnerable people, because If I don't capitalize on it, then people won't understand the costs / risks.

I've brought this up to others, how would you feel if someone decided to brick / modify your car without you knowing? What would you do if that fix backfired and caused damage, hard locked the controls on your car, or worse, sim

Sadly, they don't. What about a car that has vulnerable software? It's not a medical device but could have a real world effect if the same actions were taken.

Where do you draw the line, I could argue because we know that certain vehicles are remotely hackable we should just disable all the cars without regard to their status of use. Literally 0 difference in argument, yet the results would someh

I think the argument here is that they were forced to sell the competing product to a new vendor (due to stifled competition) whom are now pricing at $4500, which they weren't.

It's all fine and well until one of those improperly configured devices are a medical device or something critical. Yes I understand that's part of the problem, but proving a point with risk isn't the right answer either. Eve

It's also been attributed that businesses had to close due to his actions. I believe one group of restaurants in Seattle in particular attributed his attack as the reason they had to close. It's not a crime that only affects banks

It's Russia, They don't likely believe him to be the culprit, instead they're trying to break down the spirit of the masses for using or the facilitation of TOR which they cannot control.

This is the right approach. Build a business you want to work at and your employees want to work at. Focus on maintaining operating costs and expenses, everything else is gravy. The buy in and work output isn't necessarily greater or w

I think the distinction isn't making money as that's necessary to keep the doors open, it's more about corporate motivations. Some firms want to be a unicorn and some like where I work are more focused on building a business

They're notorious for spiking demand by creating limited availability. They do it with their amiibo launches all the time. It's kinda sad really. They claim more classics are on the way though after the switch is stocked regularly
