worlds_worst_passwords_hardcoded_into_lenovo_shareit/
Lenovo ShareIT users, get patching: the PC maker's file-sharing app
is pretty much unsecured.
The software runs on Windows and Android devices, and creates a Wi-Fi
hotspot allowing data to be exchanged – from phone to PC, PC to
phone, etc. But the wireless network is pretty much unsecured on both
platforms.
In ShareIT for Windows, the Wi-Fi uses “12345678” as a hardcoded
password, while in Android, there's no password at all. If someone
logs into the Wi-Fi hotspot on Windows, they can browse, but not
download, files on the machine.
