Yep. Routers used to come wide open out of the box, you had to actively secure them. They come with reasonable initial security now probably because of things like that.

In this context (running a tor exit node) none of that would matter. You can't choose to run an exit node and then try to feign innocence or ignorance. It's why I have deep respect for anyone willing to run an exit node because you're taking on MASSIVE risk for absolutely no reward.

"used to". Xfinity includes a public access point on my router that I'm not able to turn off. They used to lie about it and deny it until too many people caught on.
