Dataone broadband hacking

[cisco_tech]

It depends on router... some routers have password in plain text in HTML that is generated by router's admin pages.
e.g. Huawei Modems :rofl:

I have subscribed to a dataone startup plan at my residence, 38, Professors’ Colony, Bhopal. I have been using it for a few months. I have not used it at all in the first week of Sept. 07, since I got another dataone account at my clinic. Yesterday I happened to check the usage and found that a lot of data has been downloaded. I contacted the J.T.O. professors’ colony, Mr. Trivedi who promptly came to my home and found that internet was not accessible using our modem. He requested Mr. Gupta, SDO internet to reset the password. After that we could get online. On checking the usage we found that the total traffic was 3.234 GB in just 5 days and was being used for hours at a stretch.

Have you changed your router's password ( not the ISP's Access username and password ) you should do this right now.

if your modems ip is 192.168.1.1 ...fire up browser and put 192.168.1.1 is url ..search for routers username and password ..( NOT wan setting ISP username password ..) can you post about your modem model ?..

 

[dr_benawri]

Its UT300R2U

 

[soroccoheaven]

ok open browser type 192.168.1.1 ..and use admin as user name and admin as password and just change the password for admin.

Thanks a million. Will this do or do I still need to change my ISP's username and password? I have another dataone a/c with a wi-fi modem from UT. How do I protect that? Thanks again.

(you can changed your ISP's password for more security because it was visible before the password changed )
if you have changed your modems default password we can say now you are almost secured ..and for wifi modem/router change the password and disable SSID broadcast and use WPA encryption..128 bit .( to restrict wifi access to unknown client machines ) you can use mac based /ip based filtering also..pls see you manual ..
