[X4U] security

[John Erdman]

 From what I understand about this "threat". it applies only to those  
who have chosen not to change the admin password on your router. On  
my router the password is a blank so that it'd be fairly easy for  
someone from the outside to access router controls. I've been told  
that changing the PW to one f your own that it neutralizes atttempts  
to access your router's settings.

The Mac OS admin PW is required to install any software or make any  
changes to system files (I think).
