Arris TG1682G is hacked
So recently my gateway began controlling and changing settings to devices connected to it, the arris model is pretty well known to have a back door that has all the same username and passwords to get...

It is true ... very, very old ... and still not fixed from what I can tell from Google searches...

There are even open source password generators to aid in exploiting the backdoor.
I would immediately speak with Cox and exchange that device for something else.... or return it and purchase your own cable modem.
i read the CERT and it appears to affect 3 models with specific firmware versions.
Does Cox issue these models?
It also gave solutions for providers. Did Cox implement the solutions (workarounds, temp fix, etc)?
