I own one of these devices and found out about the ftp security issue early on. It is easily dealt with if you're a developer- compile and install a custom kernel with ipchains enabled, and simply block the ports. If you're less technically adept, I've posted a precompiled kernel on my website for download and installation, along with the ipchains binary and a sample command line.
