Backdoors Found in Barracuda Networks Gear

http://j.mp/VlErdW  (Krebs)

   "A broad variety of the latest firewall, spam filter and VPN appliances
    sold by Campbell, Calif. based Barracuda Networks Inc. contain
    undocumented backdoor accounts, the company disclosed today. Worse
    still, while the backdoor accounts are apparently set up so that they
    would only be accessible from Internet addresses assigned to
    Barracuda, they are in fact accessible to potentially hundreds of
    other companies and network owners."
