What router is it? Some of these "residential" routers, when you change your admin password, the old default one still exists. Also, if you access your router over wifi itself, you'd be at risk. If you're using HTTPS, you'd have top replace the SSL certificate in it, because if you're using the defalt one that comes with it, he'd know what it is and can basically see all your traffic. I use a separate (small business) modem and (wired) router for that reason and only access them over ethernet (not wireless) just for that reason. just my 2 cts, Ron On Fri, Dec 6, 2019 at 3:48 AM Gregg Eshelman via Emc-users < [email protected]> wrote: > Must be some exploit in the WiFi router you have.
