It's thinks like this that tend to give OpenSource and the like a bad name.
People immediately coincide these jerks "script kiddies" and the like, and
OpenSource communities. I smell a CNN "hacker" story coming up.

Yes, I knew this would come up eventually. That means barries to script
kiddies majorly fucking over grandma are coming down. About the only
barrier left is finding the IP addresses for them. Unfortunately, it's
not terribly hard to figure out. While I applaud the discoveries we are
making, I'm also afraid that the wrong person is going to see the
passwords and wreak havok with them. I hope I don't come out sounding
harsh, but I think it was somewhat irresponsible to just hand out those
passwords like candy.
I only hope netpliance will be able to change them in time...
