FBI warns Russians hacked hundreds of thousands of routers
reminded me....
A lot of home routers for your internet (purchased at Best Buy, Walmart, online...) come with a default user name and password.
Often, that default combination is incredibly simplistic
The article I linked to suggests you reboot your router, update the firmware, and change your password. It's also a good idea to make sure your SSID (wireless) has a decent password.
This is especially relevant to Seer and Moutain Man, cause the Russians got your number!![yes](https://theologyweb.com/campus/core/images/smilies/yes.gif)
All seriousness aside, it pays to be on the safe side.
While you're at it, you might have a tech savvy friend help you analyze your ports, to see how exposed you are to the public.
