The state-owned telecom operator BSNL was hit by a malware attack earlier this week, affecting thousands of broadband modems. On Thursday, BSNL issued advisory for its broadband users asking them to change the default system password.
 
The malware apparently targeted only those users who had not changed the default password "admin". The telecom operator, however, said that its core network, billing or any other system were not affected by the malware, which reportedly hit nearly 2,000 broadband modems.
