Telef\u00f3nica has recommended to some of its fixed connection customers that they change their WiFi router password in their homes after having registered an “unauthorized access” in an action that has not involved the theft of personal data.<\/p>\n

From the operator they have transferred that there has been unauthorized access to the router configuration data of a group of Movistar and O2 clients. However, the company has insisted that sensitive data such as your address, name or bank details have not registered any anomaly<\/p>\n

They deny a theft of personal data<\/h3>\n

In this way, the company has stressed that, with the data obtained, the alleged cybercriminals could only connect to the victim’s Wi-Fi if they happened to be near the victim’s home, so the company has recommended changing the password of the device.<\/p>\n
