Cyber-Bob’s Cyber Safety Tip #104 - Router Default Passwords
In this Storybook adventure, Cyber-Bob takes readers on a warm, humorous journey into one of the most overlooked dangers in home cybersecurity — leaving your router on its original factory password. From discovering the forgotten “admin” tag still hanging on his own router, to outsmarting a goofy burglar armed with an oversized “DEFAULT” key, Cyber-Bob shows just how easy it is for bad actors to slip into your network if you never change that built-in password.
Through friendly storytelling and senior-friendly illustrations, the chapter explains why default passwords are widely published online, how hackers scan neighborhoods looking for them, and how a strong custom password instantly shuts the trouble down. It ends with Cyber-Bob creating a safer, smarter home — and encouraging everyone to do the same. A simple change, a big difference.
