Megacable: a bit of a warning (somewhat technical)

[Victor David]

Interesting that you are so complacent about somebody being able to access and modify your router configuration from the other side of the world. Same with intercepting your traffic.... Okay.. I'm not comfortable with it. And while you might not think it's a security glitch, experts who publish this sort of thing (linked in my original post) disagree; they classify this one as Severity; Very High. Also, depending on what you do, monitoring your traffic can reveal a lot; some email servers don't require encrypted connections, same with some web services. The bad guys don't need a keylogger; unencrypted login info info gets sent in the packet traffic to the remote services, and one door frequently opens another.
