The article doesn't mention it, but I'm assuming this was older kit with a factory standard user/pass and "remote support" enabled without source IP control.
Terrible idea then; worse idea now.
Yet ISPs still do it and complain when you fix it at your end. 😬

The in-laws ISP stated that their IPTV was not working properly because... They need a new HDMI cable... They got a new one - did it work? Nope! So they called again - this time, they stated the cause was because they changed the default WiFi name and password... 🤦
