    IoT botnets. Yet another tragedy of the commons :(

    Maybe liability could be enforced on mass-market sellers, when manufacturers and resellers have disappeared. That would encourage due diligence, no?

    Yes, I agree. Some kind of regulation with fines for those that don't comply could change this.
