Keep Your Internet Router Safe from Cyber Attacks with These Important Tips
Are you aware that your internet router could be at risk of cyber attacks?
The US Department of Justice has issued a warning about botnet attacks on American homes and businesses, primarily targeting internet routers. Even less common routers like the Ubiquiti Edge routers, a popular choice among tech-oriented users, are at risk.
Cybercriminals can gain access to these routers by using default passwords found on the internet. It is important to change the router’s default password to something strong and hard to guess to protect your network from potential breaches. If you’re unsure about how to change your password or need enhanced security, contact your provider.
Additionally, restarting your router every few months will install any security updates and improve network speed and coverage. Protect your network today and prevent cyber attacks on your router.
