Very true. Admin interface open to the public is just begging to be
exploited.  Of course the internal side can be troublesome too.  There
are two wtr54g's that broadcast into my house well enough to use their
connection.  I am tempted to try the exploits mentioned in that
announcement, but in truth it would be unnecessary since both are
using the default SSID, no encryption, and the default login/password.
 I suspect thats by far the most common configuration :)
