JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Worth noting that apparently the tool that was used is Mirai, which apparently just connects to DVRs and CC cameras and other networked devices and checks a list of 61 default passwords to see if it can get access. Not surprisingly, it gets a hold of shittons and then can use them to launch an attack.

Gee just randomize an alphanumeric password and print it on the manual no? Require a physical button to reset it to a temporary default for a couple hours in case you are locked out?
