Seagate wireless vulnerable via Telnet using "root" pwd

CERT.org has reported Seagate wireless hard drives include “undocumented Telnet services” accessible with a hard-coded password. This allows “unrestricted file download capability to anonymous attackers with wireless access to the device.”

The three flaws present in the device mean that anyone on your network – or who can reach it from the outside – armed with the default password of "root" and enough savvy to try the username “root” can download the entire contents of the Seagate devices, then upload malware into them.
