        More ammo for the "Never expose cameras/DVRs to the Internet" magazine.

        Though really it's expanding to anything, not just cameras and DVRs now. VPNs are too easy to not use them these days.

          While this is really really stupid on Sony's part - and just really lazy.. There is one thing to have a default password, that if the user doesn't change it that is on them.  But these back doors are just horrific!!  Especially on a device that could get exposed to public internet..

          Yeah clearly more ammo on why these iot things need to be isolated and monitored, and for sure do not expose inbound traffic from the internet to them..
