Brian Krebs who is one of the best reporters on security out there has this great article about a recall on devices that incorporate Chinese technology.
He details how in last week’s massive DDOS attack on Twitter and DYN a large number of the devices used in the attack utilized products from XiongMai Technologies and that they had a hardcoded password (that cannot be changed by the user) and cannot be removed — making the devices super vulnerable. Their devices are widely used in cameras and DVR’s made in China.
He also covers and translates some of the company’s actions and responses to the disclosure of this information, including threatened legal action against those who are reporting on it.
