Quoting from reporting on the topic: > “The issue with these particular devices is that a user cannot feasibly change this password,” Flashpoint’s Zach Wikholm told KrebsOnSecurity. “The password is hardcoded into the firmware, and the tools necessary to disable it are not present. Even worse, the web interface is not aware that these credentials even exist.” So yeah, this isn't about the customers. Even if this was just a matter of the user controlled credentials, shipping all products with the same default is a terrible idea. Blaming the customer here is totally absurd. Your stereotyped expression of contempt is entirely unnecessary.
