>with no security. My understanding is that the site would try various manufacturer default passwords (perhaps even common passwords as well) to gain access. I think if there's access control, albiet poor, it still does not quality as "no security" or "public." Look, the blinds in my house are open like 5mm or so. If you press your face against my window you can see in. That's not public, just because its easy for you to do. >exposing the serious issue can sometimes recieve the most criticism. This wasn't some selfless security researcher. This was a monetized site. Personally, I'd like to see legislation that forces password changes on devices before they are allowed network access. The wild west of consumer electronics has given us the "internet of (compromised) things." This is not a good trend.
