Editorial defensive connections; these do not establish that a particular control or product would have prevented the reported activity.
Give each device unique credentials, replace exposed passwords and restrict remote administration to people who need it.
Device capabilities differ. The report does not establish which safeguards any intended target used.
Use available access logs to investigate unusual authentication activity and decide when credentials should be replaced.
Monitoring can miss activity or lack device coverage; an alert is not a confirmed compromise.
