Be it for domestic or corporate use wireless internet is becoming more popular day by day. And hackers and crooks have also invented ways to make you feel insecure about the whole exercise. Liston, a wireless expert for ResueCom which is a 24-hour computer repair company says, “They can literally connect to your system, and if you have financial data or personal data, they can get into that.”
One of the biggest possible risk areas is default passwords which people leave on there. This is dangerous and quite easy task for the hackers because they can simply come into the user’s network, will sign on to the wifi adapter and get away with all the information after changing all the settings.
This is scary.
Liston said it takes just 10 minutes to secure a wireless network. Windows users can even use the Microsoft Wizard to “enable security.” Next, make sure the name of your wireless router is unique and don’t use the default name.
