> lack of awareness of basic security issues among device builders

I'd hate to think users were just as guilty, after all that would implicate me, but much of the IOT functionality should be firewalled or restricted to LAN, if access via handheld is the target rather than turning the stove on while on vacation. Regarding manufacturers from the POV of a consumer, they should just build devices without malfunctions. That's not a matter of security but quality.
