Tip of the Week
Our Tip of the Week is from James R. Black, senior security consultant from TRC Solutions in Irvine, Calif. "Most companies never bother changing the default passwords on alarm and access control system software, leaving the systems more vulnerable than necessary. Companies should understand how readily available this information is. Type your system name and the phrase 'default password' into Google and you?ll likely to find the administrators password. You?d be surprised how many hacking Web sites exist specialize in gathering security passwords. Unfortunately, thieves exploit these vulnerabilities more often than you think. Every business owner should confirm these defaults or administrative back doors have been changed. Consult the manufacturer directly if you cannot get confirmation that this has been done."
