Millions at 'hacking risk' from outdated routers as Scots broadband use soars MILLIONS of internet users could be at risk of hacking attacks due to using outdated routers from their broadband providers that have security flaws, a new investigation has revealed. Households across the UK are using their home broadband more than ever, to work, educate their children or keep in touch with loved ones. According to Ofcom full-fibre broadband is now available to over 437,000 (17%) of premises in Scotland – an increase of over 238,000 premises and the highest year-on-year increase seen so far in Scotland. The rise is largely due to the continued investment in the rollout of fibre networks in Scotland from providers included last year, such as Openreach, Virgin Media and CityFibre.
