[IS] THERE ANY WONDER THAT ...

[Michael Grove]

... AND THAT SCAMMERS HAVE such a plethora of data   

& private information at their hands, to sound feasible

when they make their CALLS to FRAUDULENTLY steal from

their targets.

The researchers bought 18 used routers in different models made by three mainstream vendors: Cisco, Fortinet, and Juniper Networks. Of those, nine were just as their owners had left them and fully accessible, while only five had been properly wiped. Two were encrypted, one was dead, and one was a mirror copy of another device. 

All nine of the unprotected devices contained credentials for the organization's VPN, credentials for another secure network communication service, or hashed root administrator passwords. And all of them included enough identifying data to determine who the previous owner or operator of the router had been.

IN THE VERY important CONTEXT OF BLOCKCHAINS & CRYTO-CURRENCIES & the movement to establish WEB3.0 on a network of BLOCK-CHAINS, I can only rejoice in the fact that the original WWW was established around HTTP/S as a direct result of APPLE & NEXT providing Tim Berners Lee with the IDEAL toolkit, and that his latest INRUPT development of a SOLID based solution for WEB 3.0 can [NOW] be regarded in the context of addressing how Solid Pods May End Up Becoming the Building Blocks of the Metaverse.
