Hardcoded passwords leave Telstra routers wide open
http://j.mp/TC76Uv (SC Magazine)
"Hardcoded usernames and passwords have been discovered in a recent
line of Telstra broadband routers that could allow attackers access to
customer networks. SC was tipped off to the public disclosure of the
flaws on 16 October, 2012, and given the threat posed to Telstra
customers, had warned Telstra and delayed publication until the telco
and vendor Netcomm had developed and fully tested a firmware fix."
