FBI Warning: Router Used in Texas Homes and Businesses Vulnerable to Attack

The magic of the internet. The internet is connected to everything in our lives, from our phones, computers, televisions, and some smart devices like refrigerators.

Is there a downside to having the world at your fingertips? It may have happened to you where someone has hacked into your networks. Whether it's fishing or other means, your life can be challenged when a nefarious third party or a country like China steals your information.

Do you have an older router or a new one? If you're wondering why Kevin Miller is asking you this personal question, here's the answer. The FBI has issued a serious warning to home internet users.
