Re: Standards Bodies need notice

Nice. But what about a default, one-time use, std user/pass combo that you _need_ to change on setup.

Hardcoded into default factory setting, but that can only be done from a physical switch. Higher price point devices can implement other solutions for when remote password resets is needed.

Basically demonstrate that you've spent at least 10 mins around a beer thinking about security. This may yet be a wakeup call.

Plus, imposing reasonable import regulations re being fit for purpose should please all the nationalist types, no?

Paris cuz she's better at security than some of these folk.
