Your old router could be a security threat - here's why and what to do

Big warning: Your router could be a cybersecurity liability! Cybercriminals are targeting older routers from 2010 and earlier, which have stopped receiving updates. These devices allow attackers to install malware via TheMoon, bypassing passwords and taking over networks or selling access. From $100 on up, you can buy a new router to protect your home network. If you're unsure, consider updating patches, disabling remote admin, changing your password, or even just swapping it out for safety. Keep your kids' routers secure too—they might not realize they’re sharing their networks!
