“Many IT guys in the dental industry know that the Patterson FTP site has been unsecured for many years. I actually remember them having a passworded FTP site back in 2006. To get the password you would call tech support at EaglesoftPatterson Dental and they would just give you the password to the FTP site if you wanted to download anything. It never changed. At some point they made the FTP site anonymous. I think around 2010.”
So literally this is about anonymous access on a publicly accessible FTP server? I thought before reading the article that maybe he had hacked into it using a weak or guessable unchanged password (which would’ve been required back in 2006). The FBI response seems very excessive to say the least.
