The Only Way...

The only way we are going to see the end of DDOS attacks is to start holding the companies that produce or control the unprotected services responsible.

I hate the American way, but until the various IoT developers start getting sued for the costs of protecting against, or the downtime caused by, DDOS attacks, they aren't going to start spending the time and money to implement the sort of security which can make sure their devices cant be used this way.
