If your router has the factory default password, malware that gets into a 
system inside the LAN can log in to it behind your back and set the DNS to a 
bad DNS server.  PCs which get their DNS from the router via DHCP will have all 
their traffic routed via the malicious DNS server, compromising all their 
traffic, even though they themselves have no malware....
