When configured to backup configuration settings, the device will store various
information in cleartext. Accessing this file could allow an attacker to obtain
sensitive information which could aid the attacker in compromising the web
administration interface of the device, DSL/cable account passwords, FTP
passwords,etc.
It should be noted that the backup option is not enabled by default, but is a
common feature used by administrators and attackers of course ;)
