Did you know that your router could be the biggest security hole in your network?
Many of the most popular home routers available to buy today feature a worrying number of security flaws and vulnerabilities, new research has found.
A report from Fraunhofer Institute for Communication (FKIE) discovered that the firmware present in a large number of leading routers was susceptible to hugely damaging security issues.
Many routers were found to never have received a single security firmware update in their lifetime, despite the risk that this could pose to users at home and at work, and were vulnerable to hundreds of well-known security issues.
