Haha, default passwords? What is this, the 90s? I'd go with B) Place the device in a screened subnet. Isolation is key, folks!

Changing those default passwords? Pfft, that's so 2010. I'd go for C) Enable content filtering. Gotta keep an eye on the traffic, my dude.

D) Change the default admin passwords. Definitely the first step. Wouldn't want anyone getting in with the default creds. That's just asking for trouble!

D) Change the default admin passwords. That's a no-brainer for device hardening, right? Can't have those default credentials out in the open.
