SharknAT&To: Vulnerabilities in AT&T U-verse modems
I think at a certain point someone needs to be held criminally liable for situations such as this one.A VW engineer is likely going to jail over dieselgate.We have already seen that such insecure internet connected devices can be easily and quickly assembled into a botnet. The operators of such a network can direct the attacks at healthcare institutions, national infrastructure, and other safety critical systems.At some point, there has to be stricter consequences for companies than simply a fine. C-levels won't start paying attention to security until there's the real possibility that their ass will end up in jail for this kind of insecurity.
