IoT Growing Faster Than the Ability to Defend It
The article is taking a rather lack stance against manufacturers with words like &quot;ability&quot; and &quot;interest&quot;:<p>&gt; The IoT is expanding faster than device makers’ interest in cybersecurity<p>This is just pure bullshit. It has nothing to do with &#x27;expanding&#x27; or &#x27;interest&#x27; or &#x27;ability&#x27;. This type of security has nothing to do with the scale at which it has it deing deployed or growing.<p>The fact of the matter is that manufacturers are <i></i>too cheap<i></i> to provide decent security. This is a profit problem. And dancing around the issue by the media is just weak-ass journalism.<p>The solution is simple: The government holds them accountable for creating shoddy products. The companies creating these products pay for the damages done. It&#x27;s really this simple.<p>Unfortunately, the U.S seems to have this completely unhealthy obsession with keeping the government impotent and companies powerful at the expense of the people. And not just the american people, but the entire world.<p>Baiscally the only hope we have at this point is the European Union.
