I just successfully logged into my online verizon account for the first time and noticed something very disturbing. The account home page now contains my router's WIFI settings, including the SSID, crypto settings and pre-shared key!
I assume everyone's account now has this "feature"? I certainly have privacy concerns, particularly if my account is compromised. Presumably others have noticed this as well.
Similarly, if they are pulling the configs directly from the router, what other sorts of interesting information are they pulling from the router? I suppose I can move to a non-VZ router since I'm on an Internet-only account to mitigate the concern, but I wasn't expecting this.
