Default Researchers find same RSA encryption key used 28,000 times

From http://www.itworld.com/article/28977...000-times.html

..the researchers also came across an astonishing find: many hosts—which could be servers or other Internet-connected devices—share the same 512-bit public key, Paterson said.

In one egregious example, 28,394 routers running a SSL VPN module all use the same 512-bit public RSA key.
