And then there's the always useful WPS vulnerability: WPS Router Flaw Information

@CleverCat: Make sure you disable WPS in your router once you have set up any wireless devices that require it.

Stoic Joker:
(and the more likely attack vector was) It also doesn't hurt to double check that you ISP didn't leave your pants down for you.

The ZyXEL 654 routers used by many ISPs had SNMP & telnet ports open by default for the convenience of their support personnel. *Sigh* This was later "fixed" after the wrong people noticed...

Useful notes by BearWare

CleverCat:
A couple of things I like to check:


* Never use WEP -- go for WPA2
* Change the default admin password
