[Cryptography] WSJ notices that home routers and such often have serious security issues...

[Jerry Leichter]

and that no one is trying to fix them.

I can't give you a working link unless you have a WSJ online account, but if you search for the following, you should get there:

"Rarely Patched Software Bugs in Home Routers Cripple Security
Wi-Fi devices, vulnerable to hackers, show difficulty of updating software after release"

It's actually an very well written and accurate article - especially compared to the typical mainstream press article on tech-related issues - and it's on the front page of today's paper issue.
