Do the Security Economics need thinking about here: what are the threats and 
who’s best placed to confirm that some set of computers and services are safe 
and working correctly, how are they incentivised to behave ‘correctly’?

It would be possible to externalise this cost and say that it’s a legal or 
commercial issue. But wouldn’t it be sensible to at least state some security 
related assumptions, and maybe document an initial view of the threats and 
impacted stakeholders (e.g. to highlight risks to third parties that the likes 
of Mirai present)?
