Credit card terminals have used same password since 1990s!
While retailers battle breaches that have resulted in tens of millions of credit card numbers stolen, word comes from the RSA Conference in San Francisco that a major vendor of payment terminals has been shipping devices for over two decades with the same default password.
The vendor wasn’t named by the researchers, David Byrne and Charles Henderson, but they did disclose the password: 166816.
