My neighbor in Phoenix still uses his dog's name as his wifi password

I was helping him set up a new smart light last week and he just said 'it's easy to remember, it's just Buddy2024'. I told him that's the first thing a hacker would try if they knew he had a dog. He shrugged and said nobody would bother with his stuff. Anyone else run into people who think basic security is too much hassle?

Oh man, my wifi password is literally "password123" so I can't even talk. I set it up years ago and just never changed it.

Actually password123 is still way better than mine, I left it as the default router name for like five years. My neighbor probably thought I was a tech support hotline.

Thought the same until my email got hacked.
