A comment on FBI tells router users to reboot now to kill malware infecting 500k devices. Parent comment
I think that there would probably need to be classifications of software.
Things like:
1) Is this infrastructure (routers, scada)
2) What level of user data is exposed to this software ? (unencrypted user data, credit card info, etc - we already do this to some extent)
3) What level of exposure exists? (NAT'd, routable, etc)
And then start imposing restrictions on software in those cases.
But this is very off-the-cuff, obviously it's far more complex than this. But someone needs to be responsible.
