Recently, ESET researchers purchased several used core routers to set up a test environment, only to find that, in many cases, the previously used configurations had not been wiped and that the devices still contained trivially accessible sensitive corporate information. The researchers went on to carry out a more extensive test and eventually described their findings in a research paper that was published this week and will also be presented at the upcoming RSA Conference.
