Home Wi-Fi security is as bad as PC security in the 90s

From Help Net Security:

Home Wi-Fi security is as bad as PC security in the 90s


Despite concerns, people aren’t good at protecting themselves:
  • 15% of respondents don’t know if they use a solution to protect their home network and 9% are certain they don’t use one
  • 19% of respondents use the same username and password for their router as they do for their password-protected websites
  • 37% use the default password on their router and another 12% aren’t sure if they use the default password
  • Only 37% take steps beyond using a basic firewall to protect their network.
