"Popular Home Routers Plagued by Critical Security Flaws"

In a new study, researchers tested more than 100 consumer-grade routers from seven large vendors.  The researchers discovered that nearly all tested routers were affected by scores of unpatched and often severe security flaws, which could put users at risk of a cyberattack.  Even the routers that had been recently updated still were affected by many vulnerabilities.  The researchers found that the average length of time since the latest security update for a router was 378 days.  Of the routers tested 46, did not receive any security update within the last year.   On average, the routers were affected by 53 critical-related vulnerabilities.
