Shouldn't the vigilantes try to DDOS the IoT vendor websites with their own devices (poetic justice) instead of what the bricker guy is doing? That way it seems the message he's sending would be as direct and unambiguous as it gets.

Attacks on the vendors are another good option if there's a low number of vendors. The DDOS idea has a weakness where they might barely be effective if sold through 3rd-party stores and ads.
