You're seeing the weak security notification?

The problem isn't the complexity of the password..

It's that they are not using good security settings for their WiFi routers.

It's not an 'Apple issue'. It's their issue and they probably don't feel like dealing with it.

The password is a series of numbers, no letters or special characters. This was provided by an Internet company that services our entire building. When I asked about it, they said we were protected by three firewalls. Should I still be concerned?

As Chris0107 said, yes, it’s on Apple that they’re warning you about a potential hazard related to your Wi-Fi security. Is that an “Apple issue”? Well, no, the issue resides with the Wi-Fi setup. Apple simply advised you about this problem.

I told the Internet company about the weak password, and they said I shouldn’t worry because they have us surrounded by three firewalls. Is this possible? Thanks to all that have taking the time to answer my question.

You fix it by heeding the recommendation shown in the warning. Increase the wi-fi network’s security.

Here’s an addendum to the message below: the Internet company says this is an An Apple issue. Other devices don’t show a privacy morning.
