That is most likely what _Linksys_ did.
Please! Lets not just accept this poor state of security and somehow try to be apologetic for this issue. The BAR IS SO LOW .. Do not send unencrypted PII over the internet. And bonus points for not sharing someone's WiFi password with a third party. A third party in the US. We can probably assume that some three letter US government agency has intercepted all these requests.
The bar is really low. This is basic stuff. Zero need to be nice to Linksys.
