able to find out the owner of the source address, and as it happens that company recently hired an ex-employee of ours. I also found out that that ex-employee had the password for the router.
This is an example of why you must *always* change all privileged passwords whenever an employee having that access leaves the organization... Even if *all* your former employees leave with the best of feelings towards the company, it is *still* a great idea to change the passwords whenever someone with privileged access leaves. You never know what may happen... Regards, Gregory Hicks
