Several models of D-Link routers have a built-in backdoor that grants access to anyone who happens to change their browser's user-agent to a very specific string. Specifically, it grants them complete administrative privileges. I'm not sure if there's a fix yet--there might be--so if you have one of the affected models, you probably ought to upgrade your firmware.

Second, but likely less common (in the US anyway) is the backdoor that affects Chinese-made Tenda routers. It's only possible to exploit this backdoor via wireless or via LAN, so unless you have some very shady neighbors, you're probably safe. Probably.

Question. What if you have Chinese *and* shady neighbors??

Then I'd suggest tinfoil. Lots and lots of tinfoil.
