Anyone who ever helped their grandma or mother with their laptop could see this disaster coming from the invention of the term "IoT". IPv4 security + millions of people just plug and playing internet facing equipment = L. O. L. levels of an ugly mix of executive stupidity, investor greed, and public ignorance.
There are problems with IoT security but none of them come from having XX chromosomes: if anything it's the driven XY engineers that say "we'll do security on the next release" that are the issue.
