The burden of proof still lies with the plaintiff not the defendant. By the way, that was in the United Kingdom not the United States so the laws are a bit different there anyway.

If "you did all that you could to secure your network" then you have a weak defense. The idea is you are ignorant of that stuff, as most people are, so you have no idea how somebody got into your internet connection. Let them prove otherwise! You miss the point!

Of course this doesn't change anything. Lawyers bullying people into submission does not make it lawful, good or right on any level. Did those lawyers read the manuals for their appliances? No. That is not required by law, and probably never will be. Next to that, why should the defendant provide information to vindicate him or herself? Guilty until proven innocent = wrong.

If you're going to claim someone broke into your router as a defense, you're gonna' have to provide evidence it happened. A jury might believe you - or not. Otherwise, Pfft! Legal boogey-man story. If you're going to go up against a bunch of lawyers by yourself, assuming you have no legal training or have graduated from a California law school, than yeah, chances are you're gonna' get burned. A better tact , sell your X-Box and give half the money to the lawyer that hangs out at a gin joint all day. Even he could get you out of this. Without even leaving his bar stool. There is no presumption of innocence in a civil case.
