New study finds 5 of every 6 routers are inadequately updated for security flaws
#1
Quote: New study by a US consumer nonprofit has found that five out of six home routers are inadequately updated for security flaws, leaving the devices, and indirectly their users, vulnerable to hacking.

Carried out by the American Consumer Institute (ACI), the study analyzed a sample of 186 SOHO (small office/home office) WiFi routers from 14 different vendors with a presence on the US market.

ACI experts looked at the firmware version the routers were running and searched public vulnerabilities databases for known security flaws affecting each device's firmware.
"In total, there was a staggering number of 32,003 known vulnerabilities found in the sample," said ACI experts in the study published last week.
