Have to agree with you on that one. A lot of IT departments tend to postpone (or even slack off) on changing the default logins, especially with regards to server or FTP access. It’s isn’t common for exploiters to have a bible for this kind of information readily available. It’s best to have that kind of issue dealt with as soon as possible, and inform the related departments on the changes.

If I may also suggest, make it a habit to frequently change/update passwords, and when creating password, combine caps, small caps, number and characters. It’s only a hassle every now and then when you change, but the protection you get from it is priceless.

I also suggest being hyper vigilant about your company’s FTP access-don’t use default logins, and if you don’t use it regularly, disable it! Your risk of falling victim to an SQL injection attack will be reduced.
