Just when you thought you were safe, a flaw in Netgear was found that is similar to the one with the LinkSys wireless router. The model for the Netgear router is WG602 and the Linksys is WRT54G.
The Good News: Linksys patched their flaw
The Bad News: Netgear is programmed with a backdoor in it. The real kicker is they said they "fixed" the backdoor issue only with a firmware update only to change the old user name 'super' with 'superman', and changed the old password to '21241036'. "

Great Job!
