Default Password — Rapiscan

Rapiscan is hardly the only manufacturer to rely on default passwords. This practice stems from an engineering culture prioritized around ease of maintenance and support over security.

This mirrors similar vulnerabilities found in medical devices (like pacemakers and drug pumps) and voting machines.

Accessing a Rapiscan X-ray system generally involves a multi-step login process tailored to the user's role—typically categorized as Screener (formerly Operator) or Supervisor (formerly Administrator). rapiscan default password
