800 Artex hacking tools found online with no password needed

Security firm Censys found more than 800 Artex installations reachable online without a password. Artex, a Chinese-made tool with public code that probes networks for weaknesses on its own, was released publicly in July. Exposed copies also hold hidden programs letting intruders stay inside victims' systems. The developer plans to sell only to paying customers; dozens of code copies remain online.
