Cisco, the world's largest network equipment manufacturer, delivered servers for a full seven weeks without realizing that they contained a different default administrator password.
According to Sign upThe Cisco normally gives all their administrator accounts the "admin / password" combination. But it seems to have delivered 42 models of servers with the password "Cisco1234".
Η εταιρεία αναφέρει ότι ο λάθος κωδικός εμπόδισε την πρόσβαση των πελατών του CIMC της συσκευής (Ciscο Integrated Management Controller), customers consequently complained and Cisco began an investigation.

Cisco reports that all affected 42 models were manufactured between 17 November 2015 and 6 January 2016. All affected models are listed at the end of this article. The company has issued one public advisory briefing for this incident, and advised network administrators to change their default password to something more secure as soon as possible.
