1733 default vendor passwords now online

cirt.net has made 1733 default passwords for almost 400 vendors available online as a searchable database, complete with a FireFox plugin.

Last year an Australian student wrote a worm which compromised jailbroken iphones with SSH installed where the default password had not been changed.
