Any consumer router can be hacked. This is just government jumping the gun yet again.

I'd say a large majority of consumers don't ever change their router passwords unless they are forced to do so, which is a big part of the problem in these cases too. That having been said I just bought a new TP-Link router a few weeks before this story hit, but haven't set it up yet. I'm pondering now whether to sell it off on eBay and go in another direction or just go ahead and set it up.
