Which has probably happened. It's (shady uses, not necessarily this use) one of the reasons there was a big push to get consumers to put a password on their wifi back in the day.

    Yep. Routers used to come wide open out of the box, you had to actively secure them. They come with reasonable initial security now probably because of things like that.

    In this context (running a tor exit node) none of that would matter. You can't choose to run an exit node and then try to feign innocence or ignorance. It's why I have deep respect for anyone willing to run an exit node because you're taking on MASSIVE risk for absolutely no reward.
