It's even worse, though - I read in another article that the username was "admin" and the password autochanged to the day's date every day.

That's not security… that's, like… leaving the front door open with a big sign saying "COME ON IN, NO CAMERAS!!!" lol

What if I told you some legacy control devices on protocols like modbus don’t even have the concept of users/auth. Just send a request with a valid op, in range register, and a valid crc and the device will just read or write whatever you send it. There are literally tens of thousands of these devices still online and internet accessible globally.
