353,436 Exposed ZTE Devices Found In Net Census

mask.of.sanity writes "Hundreds of thousands of internet-accessible devices manufactured Chinese telco ZTE have been found with default or hardcoded usernames and passwords. The devices were discovered in analysis of the huge dataset from the Internet Census run this year. ZTE topped the charts, accounting for 28 percent of all affected devices worldwide. Only one manufacturer has responded to the researcher's bid to supply the data in efforts to stop production of insecure devices."

So the devices didn't manufacture a Chinese telco named ZTE? That makes this a much more boring story. Guess I have to put my "Rise of the Machines" supplies back in the closet now.
