A network technician installed a SOHO router for a home office user. The user has read reports about home routers being targeted by malicious actors and then used in DDoS attacks. Which of the following can the technician MOST likely do to defend against this threat?
To defend against home routers being targeted by malicious actors, changing the default credentials is the most effective measure. Default credentials are often publicly available, and malicious actors can easily exploit them to gain unauthorized access to the router. By changing the default username and password to something unique and strong, the risk of unauthorized access can be significantly reduced.
You will need to change the password/credential requirements to use your network. Default codes you have are clearly not stopping attacker from getting in
shouldnt it be B disable the SSID broadcast??
Default credentials for many manufacturers of routers are published and readily available for the public. They are commonly used for executing DDoS attacks.
D is correct
