Is it safe to have a wireless router at home? I believe many of my friends never thought about it.
Nowadays, more and more devices are connected in the home. Smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, game consoles... There are many smart home devices that also require WiFi connectivity.
Once the wireless router in the home is attacked, the consequences can be disastrous. However, according to relevant reports, about 75% of the wireless router's firmware is vulnerable and can easily be exploited by hackers.
It can be seen that the wireless routers most households are using are not 100% able to protect the user's network security. From our actual life point of view, the majority of homeless wireless routers still have not been attacked.
However, if there are hackers specifically attacking your home network, our personal information, property, etc., will still be acquired by the other party. So what are the reasons for leaving most users' wireless routers in a safe state?
Discover unfamiliar devices to force the disconnection of its network
In the online world, there is a battle between attackers and defenders every day. Hackers are trying hard to find loopholes in the system. Vendors and 'white hats' are also working hard to repair these bugs and shut down the entrance to the attack.
Single-handed hackers, compared with the powerful manufacturers, financial resources are not the worst thing. Manufacturers can invest more money and more manpower to find and remedy these loopholes. This advantage is too obvious and it is an absolute one. Hackers can't match it.
The most unsafe password of the year
At present, the market's hot smart router is also very important for security protection. It can help home users to block phishing websites and websites with malicious plug-ins to protect users' online security.
And these functions do not require the user to set specific settings. The user can see the security status of using the wireless router by tapping the phone.
Finally we want to remind users The wireless router's system should always check whether there is an upgrade, and upgrade it to the latest version at any time.
The system backend and wireless password must use complex passwords. Check the list of access devices frequently to avoid the intrusion of strange devices.
