If it's true then this is fantastic work. Should really be the responsibility of the government. If a device is compromised it should be disabled.
It could also set up a pretty nice incentive structure. If a device is bricked due to a vulnerability, then the manufacturer should have to either repair or refund the device. Corporations will not respond properly until it impacts their bottom line.
