I assume you were being flippant/joking.  The person who should be 
contacted if the device is hacked in that case, would 'normally' be the 
ISP, unless the person notified the ISP that they were taking 
responsibility.  (Same way as they now request a static IP address 
instead of dynamic)

But, in keeping with your 'flippant' style, we do have some ISP's that 
aren't responsible for the traffic that happens on their networks too ;)
