Guide: Recently in CCTV reported a heavy news, "normal" Internet users router was hacked! This message is speeding up to become the focus of the day Weibo, and was forwarded over tens of thousands of times. This shows the degree of concern of netizens about this matter.

"The speed of the ad window is even faster than when I turn off the page." Mr. Liu, who was on the internet at first, thought it was poisoned, and later found out that his router was hijacked. After the routers were hijacked, even the WiFi internet for mobile phones kept popping up ads. Industry insiders believe that the Internet when we send all the contents of the first pass is actually the router, when your router is controlled by hackers, all your information at that time will be "sent" the hacker!

Routers are a target that hackers can attack.

Industry insiders @slyar: Many models of routers in fact there are system vulnerabilities, and hackers placed a lot of triggers on the Web page, when you go to visit these pages, if your router just exists this loophole, then the router set up DNS will be modified into the hacker designated DNS, After the modification of your data will be from the hacker's DNS, then to steal information bomb ads is a very simple thing.

@ Old Yellow: Router's default password is a disease, to be cured! Router firmware is difficult to upgrade this is a disease, to be cured!

So how can netizens prevent routers from being hijacked?

@xumengnan: Try not to use public WiFi in restaurants or coffee shops, which is a dangerous area for lax management and maintenance. Be sure to use, in the computer or flat network settings directly to the DNS server set to 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS) to maximize the prevention of hijacking, but still do not use net Silver and Alipay (emergency can use mobile phone for hot)

@Slyar: The small partners are not recommended to buy a big brand router at the beginning of a T, because all of its operations are in a way that is not secure through get. If your routing management password does not change, a CSRF (Cross station request forgery) code disguised as a webpage picture, when you look at the webpage, can modify router's configuration, even let you drop line ... I use OPEN-WRT routing, operation to token, relatively safe

However, some insiders believe that the smart router to the rational view of the manufacturers

@69 Zhang Jinchan: What Baidu router, millet router, 360 router, thunder router ... To domestic these no good JS professional quality, is subterfuge, steal user information and network habits is their intention, Sima know. With "smart router" is simply to sell themselves, we look out for themselves.
