Or if was in some algorithmically generated database where you could brute force generate valid combos using easy to obtain information.

Admin/password wep forever crew

True story. I was on vacation at a cabin and "hacked" the router with the default password, showed the cabin manager i could see all the other connected devices, and got to spend the night free just for changing the password.

Saw an article about this earlier. Cisco brand only, or..?

Should be standard operating procedure and the first thing anyone does on a router.

I changed my router the moment I learned that your ISP (or at least Sky) can scan your local network and pull a list of connected devices from their high tower.
