Here is the key passage:

“But that can be accomplished by using a vulnerability in the device’s software or by simply trying the default login password. Only a tiny fraction of users actually change their router’s login settings, says Heffner. “Routers are usually poorly configured and have vulnerabilities,” he says. “So the trick isn’t how to exploit the router. It’s how to get access to it.”

So what is your router’s password? If it’s ‘test123’, maybe you should change it to ‘d13fU??’ or something like that.
