THINK TWICE BEFORE SHARING YOUR WI-FI
PEOPLE have been warned to update their devices after details of a serious Wi-Fi issue emerged that could have devastating consequences.Rather worryingly, the attacker doesn't even need to physically access your machine, they just need to be near enough to access the same Wi-Fi network as you.The flaw happens via the Wi-Fi network, allowing a hacker to drop a malicious packet onto a victim's device without the owner having any idea.
Some hackers also set up dummy networks using seemingly innocent names like "Free cafe Wi-Fi" which are fake and can view your personal information, according to Norton.: "Be careful when connecting to a public Wi-Fi network and do not conduct any sensitive transactions, including purchases, when on a public network."
Common passwords mean they're easy for cyber thieves to guess - so if you're using one of these on your router you might want to change it right now. The best sort of password is long and easy to remember - so the NCSC suggests using three random words strung together.
