Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
Is this the wifi password or the router login password?

Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
it would be sensible to change both from the default

Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
It's a good idea to change your password anyway, as if the hackers have the config of the router, they will have your old password.

Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
Did change my router login password from the default as soon as I got this hub a while back.

Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
Done, another password to forget though (!)
The BBC report is rubbish - 'Virgin Media has told 800,000 customers' - they haven't told me - found out via BBC News.... |
Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
May need to check my daughters hub for router login, was the router login password default 'password' or 'changeme' ?

Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
I don't so because in order to get to the device on your network they still need to go through your proper router.

Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
We have one of these but I don't remember any of the set up so how do I check? Could someone post some clear simple information as to what users need to do and how to do it please? I have just checked an we are still using a code which is stamped on the bottom of the SH when we need to access wi-fi. Is this what needs to be changed, something else or both? Cheers as always. :tu:

Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
This is talking about the default passwords printed on the bottom - mainly the wireless one, but it's also sense to update the admin one at the same time.
Details about how to change the Wireless password on all Virgin Media's Hubs are here: https://help.virginmedia.com/system/...eless-password And on the forum here http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...e/ba-p/3456004 And here is how to change the admin page password: https://help.virginmedia.com/system/...-page-password What's missing from the BBC report is that it still took Which days to discover the default password: http://www.which.co.uk/news/2017/06/...ssword-change/ Quote:

Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk
This seems to suggest you can have an SH3 just for asking, true/false?
