Dynalink is warning customers of a possible security issue with its popular RTA-230 DSL router and is taking action to remove a second management account with a recently-cracked password, after being alerted to the issue by Computerworld.

The Dynalink RTA-230 is based on the Broadcom 96345 chipset and runs embedded Linux as the router operating system. Unknown to most users, the RTA-230 has a second management account with full system access that was discovered last week by an Italian Dynalink customer while reverse-engineering the router to build new Linux firmware for it.
