Dear customers,

We would like to inform you about the recent hacking activity that has been/ is occurring on Fritz!Boxes with remote user access. Due to said hacks, we were forced to remove remote user configurations.

When you are in need of a remote user, please, be sure to configure a strong password on it. A combination of at least 6 characters including capital letters, small letters, digits, symbols can be used preferably in disorder. An online random password generator can help you out with the search for a strong, safe password.

Info: Wireless network WPA2 vulnerability

Dear customers,

We would like to inform you about the recently noticed WPA2 vulnerability.

AVM analyzed the wireless security breach known as “Krack” which allows an attacker to perform a so-called man-in-the-middle-attack on clients who are trying to connect to a wireless LAN network. However, they consider their devices safe and stress out that the possibility of such an attack actually happening is quite insignificant since there are very specific conditions that must be met by the attacker to do the attack.

More information can be found on the following support site article:
