Data loss due to use of Vendor supplied default settings and passwords
By: John Martin

Data to an enterprise means everything, on which you can depend upon or on which whole of the future of you and your organization depends. So keeping data secure and in safe hands becomes the primary responsibility to any enterprise. There should be no negligence followed when you are going to purchase something which could affect your data.
Very often it has been observed that the hardware and POS software products come packaged from vendors with original default (or blank) settings and passwords for ease of installation and management. At the time of deploying these settings are often not changed and can easily be guessed by hackers and provides them a wonderful opportunity to exploit your valuable data.
Frequently, basic security parameters such the administrator user ID and password that were used in evaluating the device still remain during its use in production. So more than half of the job is done for any hacker if he could guess the user id, who wants to access your data and remember this data may include your identity, confidential information, project reports and certain other things. This is a criminal activity and also sometimes refers as sabotage.
So it is highly recommended that you should change default or blank settings and passwords prior to deployment into production like change in default ID or settings according to current company standards.
But what if neither of the precautions has been considered and your data has already been hacked and been deleted and now you are suffering from a severe data loss condition. Don’t worry as a good solution exists for this hazard too in the form of data recovery Software which are capable of recovering your lost data with maximum surety. Actually the data you lost is still there on your hard drive and all you need is to just recover it.
