Well malware writers will look at this and start to exploit it. When
that scales up with hosting malware, C&C, launching DDoS, etc the
manufacturers will have to start taking notice though we are most
probably talking years and new devices only, seeing updates are far
and few between once they release a couple at the start to fix bugs.

Would I be right in assuming that the vulnerable devices situation is similar in NZ and Australia?
That would appear to be an empty question to which we all knew the answer even before D-Link so impressively demonstrated earlier this year that they just couldn't care less about making their rubbish functional. The same researcher said the other manufacturers aren't all that different. Personally I rank all that gear in the same category of clunky...
Recent conference reports sound like teleconferencing equipment is in the same category too.
Pity all the users who don't or can't know any better.
