Password leak on QC's MCP devices- please help verify

I have recently discovered that my login ID and password can easily be read by anyone on my MCP110 qualcomm if, you know where to look.


THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!

I'm not sure if this is a qualcomm bug or if my company has it set up improperly. I need someone else from another company to verify if this same flaw is also accessible to them.

Here is my issue: My password is part of my SS# and should be kept as secure and private as possible! Other drivers, mechanics and the truck wash crew occasionally have access to my truck and thus could potentially see my personally sensitive information. The unit does not even need to be logged in to see this info.

Here is the help I need: If you have one of the "MCP" type qualcomms, I will tell you where this bug is found on my device and you can verify that it is also true or not on your device as well. At this point I will only share this information via a private message to an established member of the forum.

Qualcomm is about to get a hot letter from me but I'm not sure who to blame at this point. Please PM me if you have an MCP110 or 200 and I'll tell you how I'm doing this so we can see if it can be duplicated on other devices.

I can also provide pictures and a video if necessary. Thanks!

 

Yes, many of us objected to a part of our SS# being the login password. We were over ruled and told not to worry about it. Now I have a legitimate complaint as to why that was an unwise decision. Still- I think the larger quandary is why have a password when it is so easily compromised?
