Home Office & Smart Home
Cyber Security
Many of small businesses and homes have been victims of cybercrime and have had our personal information, including bank details, compromised, or stolen without their knowledge.
One of the ways hackers can get into your system is through your router. They can also gain access through smart devices appearing in unexpected places such as light bulbs, Wi-Fi baby monitors, smart watches and many other internet gadgets commonly found in homes or small offices.
These devices are clearly here to stay. However, hackers can use these as a back door to people’s homes and personal data.
SECURING YOUR ROUTER & DEVICES
The most common way hackers can get into your home network is through your routers. The router acts as the gateway to internet traffic going in and out of your home, and with most people the router is used in the default state that it was first installed. See the section on vulnerability scoring to see how vulnerable your home network is.
5 Reasons to Secure your Router & Devices
- If your router is compromised, it can allow hackers to spy on you.
- If a network is connected to the Internet, it is inherently more vulnerable to online threats.
- Home routers come configured with default vendor settings. Many of these settings are common knowledge which make home routers easier to attack.
- If hackers get to your router, they can access and compromise all the connected devices, including baby monitors (if you have one).
- Hackers can redirect your internet traffic to gain access to your personal and financial data.
