Any of you boffins have a view on the cyber attack warning issued on Monday?
It seems the Ruskies are infiltrating not just the routers of business and commerce, but also our home hubs. They are not so interested in whether Charlton play with one or two up front, but rather more in using our collective space to cause damage.
I know it’s possible to change the password of the home hub - something not strictly speaking recommended, but would it help in making things more secure?

All of these devices are gathering data on the users and sending it back to big brother on a mega server somewhere. When the servers get hacked by the Russians and all the data stolen they will all be on Ebay for a tenner.

MAI - mutually assured inconvenience.
I have changed the router name and password on every router I have had.
Make sure your passwords are random and contain at least 12 characters (inc upper case, lower case, symbol and numbers) and you should be fine
