Wi-Fi's hacked

I tried to western express some money to a family member about a year ago online, what a hassle. First CC I tried it wouldn't accept, tried a second one and same thing. Then got on the phone. Turns out both CC automatically were disabled when an attempt to use them came from the western express site. If anyone is thinking about doing that you may want to call the cc company ahead of time.

As for the OP it's amazing how many don't even change the default password on their router. I thought about locking my neighbour out of theirs.

The day I log into my bank or submit cc info from a public hot spot isn't going to happen.

With some of the big hacks like Home Depot we're all at some risk but keeping it to a minimum isn't hard.

 

the electronic system isn't fool proof.

it'll never be foolproof. unfortunately. we'll all just have to deal with the risks. of being seen. and hacked.

hackers win, companies patch up. and hackers find a way to beat the patch. and companies find another patch. and on and on and on.

 

at home, the password comes with box. its already been picked out, can't use it otherwise.

 

hmm. its Uverse .. never tried didnt know it could be done.. its always been enter what's on the box.. will look next time I'm in.

 

It can always be done.

 

in not knowing where this router is at..

I still might be safe..

I hope I didn't say too much

 

Most routers like mine at home require you to plug an Ethernet cable in direct to first set the admin password. Just for cases like this.
