🚨 Default credentials are still in play! If you haven't changed yours, an attacker can waltz right into your FTP service on ekorCCP and ekorRCI devices and wreak havoc. 🔥 Think of this like leaving the front door to your house wide open with the key still in the lock — anyone can just walk in and rearrange your furniture, or worse, take what they want! Once inside, an attacker can modify critical files, create new users, delete existing ones, and even install rootkits or backdoors to maintain access later. It’s an absolute nightmare waiting to unfold!
