I would encourage its victims to investigate legal recourse.

It's all well and good saying that, and yes, if manufacturers are repeatedly/grossly negligent then maybe they should pay compensation and/or punitive financial penalties. However, unless you know something the rest of us don't about how to guarantee Internet-connected devices are perfectly secure, that sort of financial pressure can't be the whole solution, or even the main part of the solution. Ultimately, it may just mean that smaller players can't afford to risk participating in the industry any more, and no-one will be better off if reduced competition is the main result of this. We must be able to handle this more constructively than just demanding perfection and punishing those who inevitably fail to deliver it.
