The vast majority of internet users admit that they don’t have a password protecting their home Wi-Fi connection, possibly leaving them open to potential cyberattacks, new research has found.
A report from PC Matic found 89% of people don’t have a password set up on their router, while 7% weren’t even sure if they had a password or not.
Changing passwords also seems to be an issue, as only 9% of users that said they do protect their Wi-Fi with a password have never actually changed it. Furthermore, 9% admit they wouldn’t know how to do that, and 37% haven’t changed their passwords since initially setting the router up and replacing the factory settings.
