Your router is set to a weak password!

Configuration of your wireless router is protected by a default or weak login password and hackers can easily break in. Your personal data may be at risk.

Description


The admin interface of your router uses a weak password, or none at all. Every router has a specialized administrative interface that can be used to configure the router. It is imperative that this interface is protected by a good password - otherwise, anyone can log in to your router and reconfigure it, compromising your entire network. We have found that your router uses a very weak password -- the default password, a password that can easily be guessed, or no password at all. This leaves your network vulnerable even to attackers with basic skills.

Solution


This is a critical issue and we strongly recommend to address it immediately.
