Island based WiFi routers 'highly vulnerable' to cyber criminals

Cyber criminals can steal personal information, disrupt online services, and even redirect users to malicious websites

More than 360 WiFi routers are at risk of 'serious cyber-attack'.

It's according to the Office of Cyber-Security and Information Assurance. 

They're urging people who use Draytek Vigor routers in their homes and businesses to check and update the device with the latest firmware patch as soon as possible. 

If accessed, cyber criminals can steal personal information, disrupt online services, and even redirect users towards malicious websites.

Those with questions or concerns should contact OCSIA at cyber@gov.im or on 685557.
