Be Careful - HC2 + Static external IP address is under Attack!!!


Question

Posted

We have had now several issues where customer has forwarded his HC2 to external IP address because of unreliable home.fibaro.com connection but they have forgotten to change admin/admin passwords.

 

Now there is many attacks directly to HC2, where someone has scanned external IP-s found HC2 and then logged in with admin/admin. After this, password will be changed, all backups will be deleted and theres nothing else to do  - recovery.

 

Just warning - always advise customer to change their passwords and not to use simple ones: password123 etc. This is home autmation and also the passwords needs to be very diffictult: SD543%CskjuD  something like that.

I would also recommend setting VPN as much safer alternative to home.fibaro.com than port forwarding.
