A tech expert has issued urgent advice to check your Wi-Fi router's security settings and location.
Homeowners who position their Wi-Fi router in a common location risk becoming the victim of cyber hacks, a tech expert has warned.
PCInternational’s tech expert Jonathan Perumal warned: “Once someone gains access to your Wi-Fi network, they can exploit various vulnerabilities to hack your devices. They might intercept unencrypted data to capture sensitive information like login credentials and personal messages." It is easy to check how many devices are connected to your Wi-Fi, as most internet service providers offer the ability to display the full network via smartphone apps, the Mirror reports.
He advised: “To protect your network, start by setting a strong, unique password and changing it regularly. Next, place your router in a central location to improve coverage and minimise signal leakage outside your home. This approach enhances your network’s performance and reduces the likelihood of outsiders accessing and compromising your connection."
