Hacker leaks 500k passwords for servers, routers and IoT devices on Dark Web

Telnet. Says it all!

"The hacker in question reportedly trawled the internet for users who were exposing their Telnet ports. They then tried to gain access to these devices using factory default usernames and passwords, as well as custom (but generic) password combinations."



You gonna try and tell me that using "password" as my password is not good enough?!

Telnet. Says it all!

A hacker has dumped a massive list of Telnet credentials and passwords for over 500,000 servers, routers, and so-called smart devices on the Dark Web, exposing the persistent vulnerability of cloud service providers.

The list, published on a popular hacking forum, includes IP addresses, usernames and passwords for the Telnet remote service, which is used on numerous Internet of Things (IoT) devices around the world.

Full sentences are the most secure passwords.

But many devices have character limits on password lengths and force people to use unsecure passwords.

And if you're still using telnet for a device that is accessible to the public internet in this day and age, you deserve to be hacked.

So people that used real passwords are safe?

They are going to weaponize your microwave!

IoT is your fault for buying that shit.

Autodesk Eagle lets me make my own shit!

can u to export to dst tajima?

I wouldn't buy a smart anything. I'll make it smart myself if I feel the need and I'll know what's inside.

If something should be smart, it better be wired, with a plug I can remove.

No wireless shit for me!
