A Comcast Xfinity website was leaking Wi-Fi names and passwords, meaning now is a good time to change your Wi-Fi passcode.
Comcast Xfinity網站泄漏了Wi-Fi名稱和密碼，這意味著現在是更改Wi-Fi密碼的好時機。
The site, intended to help new customers set up new routers, could easily be fooled into revealing the location of and password for any customer’s Wi-Fi network. A customer ID and a house or apartment number was all would-be attackers needed to get full access to your network, along with your full address.
該站點旨在幫助新客戶設置新路由器，很容易被愚弄，無法透露任何客戶的Wi-Fi網絡的位置和密碼。 要完全訪問您的網絡以及您的完整地址，所有潛在的攻擊者都將是客戶ID和房屋號。
Here’s Zack Whittaker, writing for ZDNet:
這是Zack Whittaker，為ZDNet撰寫：
ZDNet obtained permission from two Xfinity customers to check their information. We were able to obtain their full address and zip code—which both customers confirmed.
ZDNet獲得了兩個Xfinity客戶的許可以檢查其信息。 我們能夠獲得他們的完整地址和郵政編碼，這兩個客戶都已確認。
The site returned the Wi-Fi name and password—in plaintext—used to connect to the network for one of the customers who uses an Xfinity router. The other customer was using his own router—and the site didn’t return the Wi-Fi network name or password.
該站點以純文本形式返回了Wi-Fi名稱和密碼，用于使用Xfinity路由器的一位客戶連接到網絡。 另一個客戶正在使用自己的路由器-該站點未返回Wi-Fi網絡名稱或密碼。
Comcast removed this feature after Whittaker’s article was published, but there’s always the chance someone grabbed your password before that happened. Changing your Wi-Fi password now is the only way to make sure no one has it. Here’s our guide to changing your Wi-Fi password, and here are?Comcast’s instructrions.
惠特克(Whittaker)的文章發表后，康卡斯特(Comcast)取消了此功能，但是總有人會在此之前抓住您的密碼。 現在更改您的Wi-Fi密碼是確保沒有密碼的唯一方法。 這是我們更改Wi-Fi密碼的指南，這是Comcast的說明。
It should be noted that this bug only affected Comcast customers who are renting a Comcast router. So not only can buying your own router save you $120 a year, it also protects you from Comcast’s security blunders. We highly recommend you do that.
應當指出，此錯誤僅影響租用Comcast路由器的Comcast客戶。 因此，購買自己的路由器不僅可以每年為您節省120美元，而且還可以保護您免受Comcast的安全漏洞影響。 我們強烈建議您這樣做。
