Linksys Velop routers send Wi-Fi passwords in plaintext to US servers.
According to Testaankoop, the Belgian equivalent of the Consumers’ Association, two types of Linksys routers are sending Wi-Fi login details in plaintext to Amazon (AWS) servers.
Given that we've known that TCP/IP MitM attacks, let alone snooping, are real and occurring and have been happening for a while now, wow does software like this get deployed? What is broken in Linksys's internal processes to let something like this happen?
