RCS & RDS has a very important warning for millions of its customers in Romania, one that everyone should know about because it is a very important message sent by the telecommunications operator. More precisely, those from RCS & RDS tell customers from all over Romania to be careful, and to correctly set the router they use to connect their own devices to the Internet, so that it is not a security problem.
RCS & RDS tells people that the securing process starts with shutting down the router, disconnecting from its internet network, and then restarting with changing all access data to manage it. We are talking here about the administrator username and password for the router, both of which must contain complex characters to be impossible for hackers to crack, so that they cannot intercept our Internet traffic, even from a distance.
RCS & RDS: WARNING for MILLIONS of Customers in Romania
RCS & RDS we also recommend disabling the DMZ function in our routers as a priority, so you have to look for it in the device menu and disable it to eliminate this device vulnerability as well. More than that, those from RCS & RDS also recommend disabling the UpnP system of the routers, this being another "port" of access for hackers in the users' computer systems, without them knowing what is happening.
RCS & RDS recommends another very important measure, activating the firewall of our router, which can offer serious protection for us against many types of attacks that a hacker can initiate. Finally, those from RCS & RDS recommend us to update the router software as often as possible, directly from the manufacturer's website, so that we have the latest possible updates, the ones that eliminate the vulnerabilities discovered until then .
RCS & RDS comes with these recommendations to help customers from all over Romania to have the safest possible experience of using the Internet, which is what everyone wants from using the Internet.
