21,000 vuln embedded devices found in scan of internet


Primarily consisting of LinkSys routers(RLY?) a study posted today showed that over 21,000 embedded devices including webcams, VOiP products, and routers are vulnerable to remote attack. The main reason being that they have admin interfaces publicly facing the net. Not much to say here, other than i am not suprised. interesting article none-the-less. The image of vuln linksys routers made me giggle up my root beer.
