Cisco, the world's largest network equipment manufacturer, delivered servers επί επτά ολόκληρες εβδομάδες χωρίς να έχει αντιληφθεί ότι περιείχαν ένα διαφορετικό προεπιλεγμένο κωδικό accesss for the administrator.
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".
The company reports that the mistake code prevented access to the device's CIMC clients (Cisco Integrated Management Controller), customers consequently complained and Cisco began research.
The problem was quickly found to be due to the wrong password, and the company proceeded to correct the accompanying written instructions so that the password encoded inside the devices was the same as that contained in their technical manuals.
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.
