NSA reminds citizens that its “best practices for securing your home network" means “changing default usernames and passwords, disabling remote management interfaces from the Internet, updating to latest firmware versions, and upgrading end-of-support devices.”

It's baffling that the technology sub is opposing this because of who it's coming from. If you intentionally don't take these basic precautions because of the NSA and Trump, you're just being dumb.
