from Compute This Hosted by Schrock Innovations

The Router Backdoor That Needs No Password | Compute This Some Chinese-made routers ship with a hidden backdoor that lets an attacker walk right in, no password required. Thor breaks down which devices are affected and what to do if one is sitting in your house right now. It's a call-in week, so Thor also digs into the privacy tricks that feel safe but aren't, and a retirement pitch that claims you can skip the stock market entirely. In this episode: The router backdoor that needs no password, and how to tell if yours is exposed Privacy habits people swear by that don't actually protect you A "retire like this guy" pitch that quietly skips the stock market Last call on the maintenance checkup special, plus a Safe Upgrade preview We're hiring in Omaha (and yes, there's a Lincoln pizza story) Whether it's a sketchy router, a privacy myth, or a deal that sounds too easy, the move is the same: ask someone who'll give you a straight answer. That's what the team at Schrock Innovations in Papillion does every day, in plain English. Overdue for a tune-up? The maintenance checkup special is still on, but not for much longer.
