My router protects me ... think again!!!
So all your inbound connections are blocked by the router by default right? Yes ... Is UPnP turned on by default? Yes (90%)
So, if you have UPnP enabled, you are susceptible to funny attacks ... lets say your router's DNS servers could be changed so that when you go to cnn.com, it will take you to GotchaN00b.com or it can create port forwarding rules ... in other words, the attack can 0wn your network.
Fix: Simply turn off UPnP on your router.
