AT&T Microcell Disassembly; Security Flaws Exposed 82
CharlyFoxtrot writes "The geeks over on the fail0verflow blog took apart an AT&T Microcell device which is 'essentially a small cell-tower in a box, which shuttles your calls and data back to the AT&T mothership over your home broadband connection.' They soon uncovered some real security issues including a backdoor : 'We believe that this backdoor is NOT meant to be globally accessible. It is probably only intended to be used over the IPSEC tunnel which the picoChip SoC creates. [...] Unfortunately, they set up the wizard to bind on 0.0.0.0, so the backdoor is accessible over the WAN interface.'"
Backdoor? (Score:5, Insightful)
AT&T's customers routinely take it in the backdoor from the company already so they just figured that no one would notice in this case.

You obviously don't have AT&T. If you did you would see the foolishness in your question.
