Flaws in default passwords on the standard Sky Broadband router could be leaving customer’s networks open to hacking.
A user alerted the problem on the SkyUser support forum by revealing that default passwords on the router shipped to Sky Broadband customers, the Netgear DG834G router had been generated entirely from router MAC addresses.
Concern has now been aired that any potential hacker who works out the algorithm for generating passwords would be able to gain access to any Sky Broadband Wi-Fi network if a customer had now changed default security passwords to their own.
Sky advises all customers to change their default password to improve security levels.
