I noticed my Netgear Router playing up (Switching between secure HTTPS and non-Secure HTTP) while logging into Amazon. I went to change my password after and it did it again. So even the new password was 'open' and compromised.
I've now replaced my old Netgear router (2.5 years old). Many home routers have been hacked and everything you do can be read by hackers. Credit Card numbers, passwords, email. Everything!

I purchased a Synology RT2600ac but they have a cheaper RT1900ac router. Why? Because these guys supply updated firmware all the time to patch security threats. My Netgear had had no firmware update for over 2 years.
This is a serious threat to everyone running a typical home router. Read about it and do something!!
And don't just think 'its the Russians'. Any individual, company or government can use these security holes to breach your privacy!
