Did you know your Wi-Fi router could be part of a botnet without your knowledge?
A botnet is a network of devices infected by malware and controlled remotely by a cybercriminal.
We found that cybercriminals often target home and small office routers for their botnets. People tend to set up their router and forget about it. Without regular firmware updates and other security measures, your network can be susceptible to botnet recruitment.
In 2023, a botnet was discovered with tens of thousands of devices which included home and small office routers. These routers were compromised because they had outdated firmware from 2015!
Don’t let your router be an easy target for cybercriminals. Learn how to secure your network
