Title: Hackers Unleashed: My Home Network Got Breached Through a Router Exploit - What Can I Do?

Hey guys, I just got my home network breached through a router exploit over the weekend. My devices started acting weird, and then I noticed some suspicious traffic on my router logs. Turns out, my router was running an outdated firmware with a known vulnerability - I feel pretty stupid not keeping it up to date

"Dude, I feel u, router exploits are super common nowadays. You should definitely update your firmware ASAP and change the admin password to something strong. Consider setting up a separate guest network for IoT devices too, that way if they get breached, it won't spread to the rest of your network"

"Dude, that's super scary. First, change your router's admin password and enable WPA2 encryption ASAP. Also, consider installing a firewall or router update if possible, and keep an eye on your bank and credit card statements for any suspicious activity."

"Dude, I feel ya, router exploits are super common. Make sure you update your router's firmware ASAP and consider changing the default admin password - and don't forget about WPA2, think about upgrading to WPA3 for better security."
