i've worked with a company that supplies pos solutions to grocery chains. their standard builds for both POS and admin terminals disable UAC and store the system admin password in the registry. all the first run batch scripts they use to prep the image also ship on the PCs and are not removed, passwords for the system and the POS apps are hardcoded and appear to be the same for each client.

once they sent me the IPs and VPN keys for an unrelated client while trying to figure out how to configure a secure VPN tunnel. a tunnel to an otherwise open network in a retail store, with apparently no firewall rules to block connections on their end to other clients.

they claim PCI compliance

what would the scope of IoT regulation be, if there were some? "thing with network connection"? seems more FCC at that point

roughly, something mandating ongoing manufacturer support and minimum levels of security for internet connected devices.

e.g. your fridge/stove/babymonitor/drone/doorbell connects to the internet in any fashion then you have to provide security updates for x number of years for any discovered vulnerabilities and it has to have some basic level of authenticated access, no hard coded root passwords, etc.

yes, but that's the whole point of having something like the FTC, to pass regulation to protect consumers because businesses will not do it voluntarily.

the pickiness reputation for the 3do comes from the fact that a lot of 90s/early 2000s cd burners and media were just plain lovely, and would produce discs on the edges of tolerance. it's far less of a problem with any disc you'd buy in recent years.

from experience, no. i experimented with a half dozen different brands of cdr to get my FZ-1 to read burned discs, only five years ago. the pickup will read pressed discs 100% of the time, depending on the cdr, it will either not see it as a valid disc at all or fail/reset while loading constantly.

i'm not drafting policy here. broadly, you have minimum security standards and a certification mark showing you meet the standard. you have minimum ongoing support requirements for anything that's found to breach the standard, for x years

your company, or your representative in the us is financially responsible for costs associated with any lapse or recall.

i don't know exactly how enforcement works, to my knowledge there are some basic requirements for electrical devices sold in the united states, things like requiring UL and CE marks, so in theory something similar to that

well i suppose it depends on how you qualify a safety hazard. if your device has a known vulnerability, you don't patch it, and it participates in a DDoS that knocks the eastern seaboard offline, i think there's an argument to be made for culpability there.

somewhat, so either i'm very wrong (likely), or this is another case where computers are magic because reasons and no one has gotten anyone to bite on those grounds (probably not)

i think you would have a clearer case if some critical infrastructure went offline due to an IoT DDoS and there were a directly attributable loss of life. although even then, it would probably be easier to focus on the direct cause of death.

to be more succinct, i think iot security is a consumer safety issue as long as things like smoke/co alarms, stoves, and fridges are being connected to the internet. webcams in a botnet are a bit of a red herring, it's just a convenient example since it's been in the news

who's culpable? the manufacturer, who can claim ignorance? the consumer, who was """""""notified""""""" about the vulnerability but neglected to patch the device or take it offline? the consumer's isp, who allowed their customers to participate in a botnet?

the botnet doesn't matter, it's a convenient example of compromised devices. who's liable if your smoke alarm doesn't go off while your house burns down because someone hacked it for lulz?

being part of a botnet can prevent devices from functioning, but the same access methods can be used to modify their behaviour in other ways, the fact that they're vulnerable to remote intrusion is the problem

specifically the manufacturer's problem
