Securing Wi-Fi Networks

To protect a home Wi-Fi network, information security expert Major General Amr El-Sharqawy advised changing the router’s default password to a strong, complex one, disabling WPS, limiting the signal range to cover the home, hiding the network name, and regularly checking connected devices and removing any that are unfamiliar. He explained that stealing internet access or hacking other people’s networks is a crime under Egypt’s Cybercrime Law No. 175 of 2018. The penalty can be at least three months in prison and a fine of between 10,000 and 50,000 Egyptian pounds, or either penalty. The penalties are doubled if the crime is repeated or the stolen internet is used for unlawful purposes.
