Constantly playing ads on the Internet? Your router may have been hijacked! According to CCTV, as long as users click on the webpage links set by hackers, they will not only play advertisements frequently, but also send QQ passwords, chat records and online banking passwords to hackers in an instant! This situation is caused by weak password loopholes in routers.
In view of the phenomenon of router hijacking, 360 security guard launched router security detection service as early as 2013. So far, it has helped more than 30 million users repair router weak password vulnerabilities, and has repaired router hijacking problems more than 28 million times. If the majority of users are worried about the security risks of routers, they can open 'home network management' in 360 security guard function, and automatically detect and repair router security problems with one button.
CCTV recommends 360 security guard to repair router weak password vulnerability
30% routers are affected by 'weak password vulnerability'
Home wireless router is becoming the standard configuration of home, but its security is very fragile. 360 security center has tested and analyzed 344 existing routers on the market (the same router with different firmware versions is also considered as different models). A total of 104 types of routers are affected by "weak password vulnerability", accounting for 30.2%. Click to view the first router security report released by 360 in China
In the network with router's weak password vulnerability, as long as a computer visits a malicious web page with an attack code, the router DNS will automatically be tampered with the DNS designated by the hacker, and DNS is equivalent to the 'NAVIGATOR' of the user's website. Once DNS is controlled by hackers, the Internet will slow down and pornographic advertisements will pop up on well-known websites. Even if you visit the official address of online banking, you may actually open a phishing website.
360 'home network management' fixes router security vulnerabilities
For router users, 360 security experts suggest changing the default password of router factory and using relatively complex strong password as far as possible. Even if you can't remember this password, it doesn't affect your daily Internet access. When you need to log in to the router management background, you can easily restore it to the factory settings through the 'reset key' on the router.
In order to solve the security problems of routers, it is recommended to use the home network management function of 360 security guard, which can scan and detect the security vulnerabilities of routers, and prompt users to automatically repair them with one key, so as to protect the security of routers and avoid being hijacked by hackers or being scratched by others.
