D-Link Routers give up the Admin password to easely.
Telkom, D-Link & Compromised passwords. Telkom provided me with a new router Model DSL-G2562DG. I have had it for two weeks and the Admin password has been repeatedly hacked. The D-Link admin password should be the most secure. If it gets hacked as has been done to me tonight then that gives hackers access to the D-Link App that manages the D-Link router. My password was 14 digits. And still got hacked. Telkom needs to provide a more secure internet router. D-Link does not offer the right level of security.

13 Feb 2023, 08:45Good day,
The message you are getting on your apple devices, that your password appeared in a data leak refers to the default admin password. As part of the D-Link setup wizard it is mandatory to change this password and thus your router is secured. As long as you have changed the default password (which almost every company uses admin) there is no way for your router to be hacked. Note, there is also no D-Link app that managed the DSL-G2562DG, only a web interface. To access the web interface any would-be hacker would first need to be connected either to your Wi-Fi (which each DSL-G2562DG has a very secure randomized password of 20 characters) or connected with a cable to your router.
If you need more help with your router you are more than welcome to reply to your last ticket and our technicians will be happy to assist further.
