Cybersecurity Tip of the Week – When Was the Last Time You Changed Your Wi-Fi Password

Think about how many people come into your space: friends, family, service technicians, babysitters, house cleaners, or guests. Many home routers still use the default password printed right on the device, which means anyone who can see that label can connect to your network. Once connected, they may gain access to your work laptop, personal devices, or sensitive information. Take a few minutes to change your Wi-Fi password to something strong and unique, and share it only with people you trust. If you're not sure how to update it, your internet service provider's website or help desk can walk you through the steps. A small change can make a big difference in protecting your home and work life.
