Robert Moore tells the press in the US how easy it was to hack into VoIP services and routers with usually little more than the default passwords that come shipped with the devices.

Not surprisingly, a lot of people still don’t get the importance of security within their devices – and this case plainly shows what can happen if you leave it to chance. Robert Moore worked as the technical lead in a scheme to rip off VoIP providers in an effort to get largely discounted rates and services. While he did the hacking, Edwin Pena did the selling. Mr Pena is reported to have made off with a million dollars of sold discounted services – illegally obtained – and has fled the US as a fugitive. It makes you wonder when people are going to wake up to the really basic security threat that everyone is under on the internet. All it takes is a well thought password and most of this stuff would never happen. [SHOW ME]
