TalkTalk != Secure

TalkTalk != Secure
This goes for anyone living in the UK.

If you use TalkTalk for your internet, check to see if it can be configured from an external source with default creds of admin/admin. Not sure if I'm the first to find it, but there is a vulnerable default configuration setup which allows anyone on the Internet with your IP to connect via either HTTP or Telnet and configure your router.

If you've changed your default username/password from admin/admin then this won't be much of an issue (though it's still fucking stupid). I'd also suggest adding a Firewall rule that denies incoming connections from the Internet.
