I've noticed over the past month or so, someone's been trying to log on to my ADSL router - Thankfully, I'd already re-configured it from the default (which allowed both LAN and WAN logins) to disallow logins from the WAN-side (rest of the planet)... but they keep trying.
If any of this confuses you, or worries you, please comment.

Port scans / DoS is about the worst my router has logged.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever logged a failed login.
Much less frequent these days.
My WAN login is enabled, but the password is pretty strong.
Good for you! but I'd argue, if you never login via your WAN, to disable it unless you know you may need to
ReplyDeleteOh, I need to - Mrs Awol sometimes works from home.
ReplyDeleteAh!
ReplyDeleteStill worried about hackers getting private info?...
ReplyDeleteWell, do you have a wireless keyboard, then?
