Disabling SSID broadcasts does not prevent anything and is also more about a WiFi network than securing the router specifically. It simply hides the network name from being sent out to all nearby devices, it doesn't prevent anyone from joining the network or from accessing your router.

Default credentials for many manufacturers of routers are published and readily available for the public. They are commonly used for executing DDoS attacks.

You will need to change the password/credential requirements to use your network. Default codes you have are clearly not stopping attacker from getting in
