the UK has made it illegal for bad passwords to be used as defaults
"admin & "12345" new laws in the UK aim to make it tougher for cyber attacks to succeed and increase consumer confidence in the security of the products they use and buy
Under the new regime, manufacturers will be banned from having weak, easily guessable default passwords like ‘admin’ or ‘12345’ and if there is a common password the user will be promoted to change it on start-up.
