Bingo! 'Public' is the obvious choice here. I bet the penetration testers had a field day with this one. Time to change those SNMP strings, folks!

Hmm, 'Public'? I guess the network admins were feeling a bit too 'public' with their security settings.

Yeah, 'Public' is a common default community string. Not very secure.

Well, at least they didn't discover the 'admin:password123' login credentials. That would have been a real facepalm moment.

Ah, the classic 'Public' default community string. How original! Looks like the penetration testers have been playing too much 'Hack the Planet' lately.

Definitely. Changing default settings should be the first thing we do.
