How insecure is your router?
|
|
Routers are important. They provide the link between one network (in this case, our home network) and another one (in this case, the internet, via our ISP's network). High among a router's other functions, many also perform as a modem, but routers often do more things, sometimes many more things, including traffic logging, acting as a WiFi access point, providing a VPN for external access to your internal network, child access, firewalling, and all the rest. Does this matter, you ask? Well, if other people can get into your system, they have easy access to attacking your laptops, phones, network drives, and the rest. They can access and delete unprotected personal data. They can plausibly pretend to be you. They can use your network to host illegal data or launch attacks on others. Basically, all the bad things.
