Yeah, which is why it is sometimes weirdly safer to not change your SSID - a cracker can assume that someone who figured out how to change the broadcast name could've also changed the WiFi password... often to something much less secure.

SSID is used for password hashing, so better change it from default to avoid rainbow tables.
