I need some help here. Basically I've found that one of the biggest wifi providers in my country uses a combination of a set prefix and the last few letters of the wifi name as a default password. I think that's still okay AS LONG AS THEY TELL PEOPLE TO CHANGE IT. I remember when we got our wifi, they just gave us the password and said that that was the one we needed to use. No recommendation to change the password or how we could do so. I had to do it myself once I realised that anyone could easily log into my wifi. Now I've tested this default password on every wifi network of the same provider I've come across. I've connected to around 20 of them and only one had changed their password. This is extremely dangerous because it's a (basically) open port to any wifi(one of the largest providers here btw) that can easily be exploited...
So are the default passwords similarly set up where you live?
I'd love to hear from you guys. I can say that as far as I've seen, in europe the passwords are randomly generated.
Any advice is welcome!
