13 popular home and small office routers contain security problems that could allow hackers to snoop or modify network traffic. Independent Security Evaluators (ISE) found that all of the routers they tested could be taken over if the hacker had access credentials. Hackers can perform attacks such as sniffing and rerouting non-SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) traffic, tampering with DNS (Domain Name System) settings and conducting distributed denial-of-service attacks. ISE advised vendors to upgrade vulnerable routers and send registered product users upgrade instructions.”]
