Change your router's password!

If you have a home router, make sure that you change the password from the factory default (the user id is usually admin and the pasword is password) The exploit described below will probably pop up pretty quickly now that it's been described.

Check your documentation or visit the vendor web site to get instructions on how to change the password. Include numbers and special characters for a strong password.
