My neighbor's smart doorbell got him robbed in Phoenix

He told me 'it's fine, the app has a password' while the default admin login was still active. The guy who broke in just looked up the model online. Anyone else seen people skip the basic setup steps?

Man, that's rough. I'm the guy who still has the default password on my router, so I probably shouldn't talk. How do people even remember all these new logins?

Honestly default passwords are fine for most people. Burglars are usually looking for easy targets, not hacking your doorbell. This whole thing feels like fear mongering over a rare event.
