Protection of Routers in Hacker Attacks

According to an article published  at TechNewsWorld, Symantec and Indiana University have warned a security breach that could allow hackers to attack through the routers where users keep the default settings for these devices .

In general, manufacturers of routers accompany their products with materials that inform about the need to change the default passwords set. However, most consumers ignored their warnings, leaving their home network at the mercy of hackers, thus, may alter their attacks with the configuration of broadband router or wireless access point.
