Software and firmware updates for routers and IoT devices are often neglected by users – either due to lack of awareness and/or the lack of technical ability to apply the updates. However, malicious activity is becoming increasing common in regards to consumer routers and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which many users have on their home network. Fortunately, those attacks are typically easy to avoid by alert users who do not blindly click every attachment and web link contained in their emails. Phishing attacks usually via email is the most common attack for home users. While corporate and government targets may be the biggest targets because of the valuable data they possess, home users still need to be cautious. The Internet is full of malicious actors looking to take advantage of insecure networks and devices.
