Netgear's Amusing "fix" for WG602v1 Backdoor
An anonymous reader writes "Recently Slashdot reported that the Netgear router has as WLAN backdoor. According to this report by the news service of the German publisher Heise Netgear "fixed" the problem with a firmware update. And what is the fix? According to Heise, they didn't remove the backdoor at all. Instead they just changed the login information! They replaced the old user name 'super' with 'superman', and changed the old password to '21241036'. "
And you would prefer an *american* source?
Don't mod up non-anonymous babelfish or text pastes except for "underrated" so they don't karma whore.
Why don't you try "reaching" puberty?
Michael Sims reports a large opening in his backdoor for all to use.
Everyone, stop modding 'article text' that is submitted AC up. There is no such thing as karma whoring these days. People who post well go to Excellent karma pretty quickly and stay there.
And oh yes, this will probably have no effect either, but what the heck: DON'T MOD SOMETHING UP IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT !!!
Why don't you try "being" funny?
And another reason companies shouldn't rely on H1-B talent or offshore programmers!
