We talk a lot about business security, but 89% of people don’t have a password set up on their home router. If you have remote workers, this could be a risk to your business
89% of internet users don’t have a password protecting their home Wi-Fi connection. 37% haven’t changed their passwords since replacing the router after initial setting it up. Only 9% of people have actually changed their password, PC Matic research found.
Almost a quarter of people said to be changing their Wi-Fi passwords once a year, and a further fifth (22%) once a month (up 4% year-on-year). Securing the router is arguably the most important thing to do, when defending your home, or business, from cyber-incursions. A threat actor could also use known vulnerabilities in the routers, or in the devices themselves, to access sensitive data, or even steal it.
