Report Methodology

The study examines the online behavior of 6,000 working adults across six countries: U.S., Australia, France, Germany, Italy, and UK.

Why it Matters

The statistic matters as it highlights a widespread security vulnerability. Failing to change default Wi-Fi router passwords leaves individuals susceptible to hacking and unauthorized access. With the increasing reliance on wireless networks, taking simple steps like changing passwords is crucial in protecting personal information and maintaining a secure digital environment.
