My office use a 4G Wireless Broadband with limited data (please don't ask why). So i resort to use a free wifi provided by a closeby restaurant and sometimes a hotel next door. The password for the restaurant wifi was widely available.
Just cleaned my computer with avast because of some trojan, thank you AVAST.
When i did a SMART SCAN. It detect a the router as "WEAK WIRELESS PASSWORD" and 2 "DEVICE IS VULNERABLE TO ATTACKS". 1 show the weak wifi password and the second one show THE ROUTER login PASSWORD. The user name is pretty simple, admin, and i use the weak password provided by AVAST SMART SCAN. It did work, i can login to a router SETUP which i never access before.
The hotel free wifi was showing GREEN result, since it got a BETTER password for it's router, i think.
Is this a real threat? Or has it happen before? Should i contact the router manufacturer?
Advice please.
