UK law: Product Security and Telecommunications Security Act 2022 which 
is amongst things, designed to stop devices, like routers for example, 
from having default passwords that can easily be guessed. That's because 
many people leave the passwords at the default settings and then such 
devices are more easily roped into DDOS attacks.
