| hmm
what's stupid is that he is giving away his secrets instead of using his knowledge to negotiate no jail time, or to teach the good guys how to do things.
Also, you gotta get your $ offshore as soon as possible. If you gotta go to jail, you might as well have the money too. |

| Nice, lets give this jerk publicity too...
Could we take his picture down. Makes him look like he's a pompous saint.
Nothing like saying, "Hey, be a criminal and become famous!"
Meanwhile, the dope's master is off and hiding.
What get's me is the arrogance. And only two years? If he were remorseful or even, "I was coerced to do this for Pena. I was, you, addicted to gambling and had, well, a lot of debt..." Instead only two years? Please, I rob a bank of $1m and the fed put me away for atleast 10 (with maybe 5 for good PMITA behavior).
Too lenient. Too stupid. |

Seriously, who leaves default passwords on all of their routers and such?
So this guy takes the fall for it, but the admins of these companies should be canned. |

said by cypherstream :So this guy takes the fall for it, but the admins of these companies should be canned. Twice even. Regardless of what the passwords were, there's absolutely no reason that they should be allowing random IP addresses on the internets to talk to their administrative interfaces. |

Yeah, and this part of the story is just finger pointing...
"Products should be sold so the default password has to be changed first time they use it," said Paller. "It's all on the vendors. It's not about the user being careless. It's a silly thing for them to have to know to do."
Rhodes, however, says until vendors make it necessary to change the default password before a system or product will work, IT departments need to be given the time and resources to get it done." Sure, good idea, but it is most certainly not ALL on the vendors. It IS about the "user" (um, Administrator?) being careless. That's one of the most obvious things to do, changing the password. It is by no means "silly" for someone to "know to do." It is one of the very first things I learned about how to set up a router... if you set it up from scratch, or are recovering one, you change the freaking password(s).
Give IT time and ...RESOURCES???... to change a password?
Well I hope it was fun for this guy, but what about the "mastermind" guy? No fun times in the slammer for him??? Just fast cars, boats, and whatever else? That makes no sense. |

The router manufacturers could easily fix this. Force a user name and password change when logging in to a router for the first time.

Re: Wow.
WTH makes him even an hacker all he did was to exploit the laziness of the installers. He is not even a script kiddie just a plain dumb crook. Hacking involves some circumventing knowledge but his feat lacked any stereotypical hackers. The only thing this guy is fit for is to sell used car. The height of stupidity is that he only made 20,000 |

Sure, end users ought to take even a tiny bit of effort and thought to protect themselves, but it is no different than with anything else, folks just do not believe that "they" will be hit...
It would be very easy, and makes sense for the vendor to simply supply a limited usage password that expires and then must be changed.
