Virgin Media Super Hub 2 Router Can Be Hacked There was a warning from virgin media to say over 800,000 virgin media customers need to change the passwords on their routers.

If you wish to opt out of Wi-Free and disable the broadcast of the hotspot from your modem, just follow these steps:1. My Virgin Media2. Select the My Products dropdown from the top of the page3. Select the Broadband option on the list4. Select the Show full details option under Horizon Wi-Free5. Select the option for Disable Wi-FreeBear in mind, it can take up to 72 hours for that to take effect and afterwards you may still see Wi-Free as an available network near you. That's to be expected, so don't worry - other modems near your home may be broadcasting and using Wi-Free.

If you'd like to double-check that Wi-Free has been disabled from broadcasting on your modem just search your smartphone app store for Wi-Fi analyser.You'll find lots of free analyser apps that let you cross check Wi-Fi network names against the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the device broadcasting it.Take a look on the white sticker under your modem - you're looking for a series of letters and numbers called the CM MAC address. Note this down.Cross-check it against the wireless network names displayed on your analyser app - any network which shows your CM MAC address is broadcasting from your modem.
