Just got this email in from 02.
We’ve been told about a security problem that could affect your O2 Wireless Box.
The problem could let people change your router settings, which could change how it works.
What we'll do
We’ll set up a password automatically to protect the settings on your O2 Wireless Box. You don’t need to call us to do anything. You’ll only need it if you want to change the settings. (In most cases, you’ll probably never need it.)
The password will be the 11 digit alphanumeric serial number on the bottom of the O2 Wireless Box. The serial number has an “SN “in front of it e.g. “CP0749JTAM3” and a 2 digit code in brackets after it. Here’s how to change it(If you would like to)
Nothing else changes
We won’t change any other settings on your O2 Wireless Box. (The password you use to connect wirelessly to your O2 Wireless Box will stay the same.)
We apologise for the inconvenience, and we’ll do everything we can to keep the disruption to a minimum.
Kind regards,
O2 Broadband Team
