    I don’t understand why they’re considering a ban. People should be changing the default password on their router. If they aren’t and they leak information that isn’t theirs, tough shit, fine them. If they leak their own information, let them deal with the consequences.

      There are so many people who just don’t get tech though. I was just at my buddy’s patents house, probably early 60s, and they have a random default SSID and password. It’s like 15 digits long. Secure as can be. If they really bothered to type that in on all their devices, I’m thinking they were probably incapable of changing it through the software.

        Or they just didn’t know how. Which is a distinct possibility. Some devices these days even let you share the Wi-Fi password through QR code or similar. So you don’t have to enter it until every device.
