How secure is your router?

  • Article

It is interesting to see, how the threats and problems move over time - but basically the core problems remain the same: Standard passwords that have not been changed, poorly configured systems, unpatched computers, and - last but not least - no "Secure by Default". And all of a sudden you do not own your router anymore and you router is used for a pharming attack.

If you ready the following article, take a special look at the end: Do not use Windows 95, 98 or Windows XP SP1 anymore! Upgrade to supported versions of Windows in order to make sure that the Operating System is able to defend attacks that are common today (and were not, when the OS was developed).
