Your Home Internet Might Be Wide Open to Hackers We all love fast internet. But when was the last time you checked how secure your Wi-Fi router is? For many people, their Wi-Fi box just works. But what they don’t know is that this small device can be a big door for cybercriminals — if not set up properly. Hackers often target home networks to:
- Steal personal data (like banking logins and OTPs)
- Monitor your online activity
- Break into smart devices (CCTV, smart TV, even voice assistants)
- Use your connection to launch attacks on others
Common Mistakes That Make Wi-Fi Unsafe
- Using the default router password (easy for hackers to guess)
- Not updating the router firmware (leaves known bugs open)
- Keeping the Wi-Fi network open or using weak passwords
- Sharing Wi-Fi with guests without limits
- Never checking who’s connected to the network
How to Make Your Wi-Fi Safer Today You don’t need to be an expert to secure your Wi-Fi. Here’s what you can do right now:
- Change your router login password (not just the Wi-Fi one)
- Use a strong Wi-Fi password with letters, numbers, and symbols
- Turn off WPS (a feature that makes hacking easier)
- Regularly check connected devices — remove unknown ones
- Keep your router’s software up to date (via the admin page)
