      That’s not the fault of the government. The fact that they were able to do this without disruption or people even recognizing is a pretty big win.

      I think default passwords are not even enough. There must be some additional fuckup unmentioned. Usually such devices don’t expose the management interface publicly, so a password wouldn’t be enough.
