        This has nothing to do with Windows or any other OS.
        So far as is known, the bad guys got into the 
        stations' LANs, and gained unauthorized access
        due to use of default passwords.
        
        What is known so far:
        There was no hack of an EAS box.
        There was no exploit of an OS.
        There was no vulnerability - except as with any gear with password access.
