​I was talking to one of the major chipset vendors just this last Thursday.​

We have to fork-lift upgrade all of these devices, ASAP.

And change how we build/maintain these systems, and do business in embedded
systems.

See my Berkman Center talk here:

​We'll be struggling with the policies issues the rest of our lives (which
is why I presented to the Berkman Center).

Also read Dan Geer's policy piece in Lawfare the Lawfare blog.

Bruce Schneier's piece in Wired on the IOT is also very good, but aimed at
a mass audience.

I will be publishing and updated version of the talk very soon; the
situation is yet more perilous since June, and my explanations clearer.
