Alcatel comments on their own security flaw

[ via Cryptogram ] Some models of Alcatel DSL modems had a major security hole (perhaps the same one that allowed script kiddies to delete all the people in that “I Have a Dream” ad?) Alcatel posted an explanatory document on the website. Unfortunately, that document was in MS Word, thus it contained all the previous drafts and comments. The folks at morons.org put the self-annotated document on their site.
