Been telling folks for years, ALWAYS change the defaults to something only you know, NEVER run your gear with factory default credentials. Make it the first thing you do when you install or change your router, go to the administrative page and change the network name, the administrator password, (many of the routers do not allow you to change the administrative username, but always change the default password), and set the WiFi access to something other than the default. Make you enter the info in your devices and set up your router's "Guest Access" you can give it to the folks you wan to be able to use your internet access while they visit, but they do not need access to your local computer network. As always, if you have any questions or need help with any of this, give us a call, text or email is a message . . . .
More than half a million devices have already been compromised — with more likely to be targeted over the next few weeks.
