Plusnet security message

[Deleted User]

Hi,

just wondering if anyone else has had this message from Plusnet,

'Plusnet has been made aware of a potential security vulnerability in the Thomson 4-port (585v7) wireless router we supply,
We are advising our customers, whether you have a 585v7, or any other model of router, to change the default “router admin” username and password'.

Thanks.

Hi,

fair bit of reading there, but interesting.

So will have to have a look at my 'username and password' settings.

Thanks.

Jaffa.

This would apply to everyone using a BT HomeHub as well then...

Yes, I got it the day after Plusnet delivered the router...
While I'm having a moan, why do they only send out their hardware the day before the broadband is due to go live? Combination of a postal strike and early activation meant that I had the line active for 3 days before I could actually get connected. With O2 I found that they sent the router the day after I signed up-makes a lot more sense.
