Comcast Routers Leaks User Details

​​Comcast has been part of causing a major security breach by revealing the passwords of its customers on Xfinity-provided wireless routers in the plaintext to the public web. Any user with a subscribers account number and street address number will be served WiFi via the company’s Internet activation service. 

The findings suggested that people could access an Xfinity-provided wireless routers with only the user's street address and SSID. This raises a lot of questions on Comcast and Xfinity. They have promised to fix this loophole by giving a software update, but experts suggest that people should change their routers instead of just a software update.
