This article was published earlier this year. So it is not news. But it is something you may find very informative. Forbes magazine has some credibility. Lots of People read it. Here is basically what thy said back in April:

This could be the year you get hacked … and it is going to GENERALLY be a tough year for computer security whether it’s on the consumer side or the corporate side.

Another flaw in the design of many consumer routers with built-in WiFi access points is that they still support WiFi Protected Access (WPA). WPA is where you press a button on the back of your router and enter a short code in your PC or tablet’s connection wizard and, voila! Your device is connected, theoretically, securely. Back in 2011 it was demonstrated that WPS could be hacked by a simple brute force method but the router manufacturers still provide the feature!

At issue is a technology called “Wi-Fi Protected Setup” (WPS) that ships with many routers marketed to consumers and small businesses. According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, an industry group, WPS is “designed to ease the task of SETTING up and configuring security on wireless local area networks. WPS enables typical users who POSSESS little understanding of traditional Wi-Fi configuration and security settings to AUTOMATICALLY configure new wireless networks, add new devices and enable security.”

2013 will be yet another year of growth in online threats and that growth promises to be biblical. Now is the time to rethink your security and remedial strategies because its quite likely that in the next few months you’ll find yourself so overwhelmed by security problems that there will be no time for forward thinking.
