ZyXEL DSL Modem Default Remote Administration Password Vulnerability

It has been reported that the administration interface on some ZyXEL devices, including the 642 and 645 series, is remotely accessible and pre-set with a default username and password.

It has additionally been reported that sensitive information set in the devices by ISPs, such as user email addresses, may be obtained by remote attackers.

It is important to note that other ZyXEL devices may share this default account.
