In the middle of this month, a security company in Tokyo, Zero Zero One, investigated domestic home routers in the middle of this month, found that about 190,000 units were accessible from outside. From the response of the communication when attempted to access, the type of device and the software version were determined and analyzed, and there were 6 devices that have not been supported by the manufacturer or have not provided software for more than one year. It turned out that there were 94,4070 devices that have not been updated to the latest software, with 6757 units. This means that these vulnerable devices are nearly 140,000 except for duplication, and the risk of cyber attacks is high. According to Zero Zero One, this vulnerable may be operated or stolen information on the router. It may be infected by malware and is hijacked, and it may be a "stepping stone" for a DDOS attack that tries to down the system by sending a large amount of data all at once. Yuichi Hagiwara, president of Zero Zero One, said, "I don't think many people think that anyone can see if the router management screen of their own house is accessed from the Internet. If you are using it, be especially careful. I want you to keep using it without changing the simple initial password. "
