As an ISP, scan your customers netrange, and notify customers with known
vulnerable devices. With regards to the current Mirai threat, theres only a
handful of devices that are the most critical importance. IE, biggest
fraction of the infected host pie.

Virgin Media in the UK do this for Mirai-infected or susceptible devices already.

Quite interesting approach. If more consumers were aware of this, they may do something about it.. although.. people 
are lazy. :(
