Hi friends,, i am abhijith , i have applied for bsnl Broad band connection and shortly will be getting it...(this is 2nd time i am getting the same connection after 1 n half years..) But one thing worries me a lot is.. Password protection and bandwidth !! I have heard lots and lots about bsnl passwords being hacked and customers getting Sky-scraping bills.. cos this issue was on news papers too.. I have read the posts of the victims on many forums.. feel pity on them,, and i have visited blogs where the username and passwords are posted and people seem enjoying it.. and shockingly even i found the working username & passwords(verified it on check usuage page-on my friend's.. he is on bsnl..) its so pathatic that even though there are many cases around, Bsnl is not taking any initiatives to stop the..... I came to know that BSNL doesnt have port binding(i dunoo whats it) ..i.e so can any body change login info at their router and use the hacked user😛ass ? well.. 1st lemme actually ask what i wanted to.. is there any thing that i can do to prevent being the victim of Bandwidth Suck.. ??? I complaint the JTO(junior telecom officer)telling there are many sites or blogs where u😛 are put up and they work fine... he said its impossible..He dint say much... i'm sure bsnl lacks engineers and admins who are technically strong , they are almost nerds,, ( reasons y i call them nerds1.Last year when an engineer had come home for giving the connection ,was trying to connect the usb of the modem to the ethernet port :-0 ha ha.. 2.He blindly made the settings of the router which he had written down on a piece of paper..3. I had to close the connection with in 45 days due to some reason ,n i was not aware of the min hire period was 90 days...latter had got the bill including unused 45 days... then after lots struggle and begging they agreed to give a reduction of 400 bucks and i was letin to the admin room.. i saw the admin was blindly executing the Sql queries on Oracle 9.0 he referred the book(probably it was his notes)and tried executing the UPDATE queries... after lots lots errors he managed to update..:-0 ) Back to the topic... Please suggest me or write ur views on securing the u😛 & pocketting of bandwidth.. I thank you in anticipation... this forum rocks.. with regards Abhijith " In some ways ,all are Nerds,me too ,Coz >>Known is A drop and Unknown is an Ocean
 
I am not sure, but I think only in dial-up passwords can be stolen. But I am not sure.wait for someone to reply.I think they can check your usage if they know password.I also think there are many threads already in this forum with the same query.
 
😱 i think port binding is there. i can't login my friend's id and my college id on my computer 😛if i try to login, it simply says connection was closed by the remote computer or username/password wrong on the domain 😕 but, i can check their usage.
 
There are ways to protect your password and its common sense
First if possible set your modem to PPoE mode (if you use bridge mode)Also
enable your router firewall.
Second change your password at least once in a while
Third never store your password in your computer like in doc format etc.
Fourth often checked your usage
Fifth to prevent your keystrokes from keyloggers dont use your keyboard for
logging to important sites like dataone (I always followed this rule use Mouse
Only Keyboard (MOK))
Happy surfing

Merry Christmas to all my fellow members

PEACE
