This article’s got me wondering about potential USB exploit vulnerabilities on shared computers at, for example, your local library. My local branch kept having its wifi ID changed by the kids until I showed the librarian how to set the router’s admin password to something other than the factory default.
LOL!
Ha-ha, good one. I've encountered sloppy security at many places. One time one of my daughters was working as an editor at a magazine publishing company. She would bring me copies of the latest issues. So I was curious about an issue I hadn't received yet where she had written an article. Via the Internet, I checked their website, and with some tinkering (I used to be a network guru) I got into their internal networks and saw everything they were working on. I could have changed anything if I wished. Yup, they had factory default passwords on routers and servers. Got the latest stuff, told my daughter and she went pale! Via my daughter, it was brought to the bosses attention and fixed pronto!
Security is only as good as the people guarding the systems, some of which are asleep or lazy.
