Re: National regulation won't do a damned thing.
"There are ALREADY liability laws in the USA. Perhaps they require a bit of tweeking, but if it can be shown (in a *cough* class-action lawsuit) that the IoT vendors were NEGLIGENT with respect to security and WELL KNOWN types of exploits, we'll get some REAL action."
Except when it gets INTERNATIONAL. How can American laws get Chinese companies to comply when a lot of them are coming through grey markets that are by design nearly impossible to regulate. And you can't go to the manufacturers because they're in another country: protected by that country's sovereignty.
