REBOOT YOUR HOME ROUTER, CHANGE PASSWORD
A warning from the FBI: Foreign cybercriminals compromised “hundreds of thousands” of home and small-office router devices around the world. Yours could be one of them.
The FBI has discovered foreign cybercriminals used a VPNFilter malware that can collect peoples’ information, exploit their devices and block network traffic. At least two commercial router manufacturers, Linksys and Netgear, both used extensively in Alaska, have posted guides for users to follow in securing their devices. Do it today.
