Anyone who is a tech geek, not necessarily a programmer, can intrude your PLDT Fibr WiFi password. Some black hat hackers were able to found weaknesses on PLDT Fibr’s WiFi password. By just turning on your phone’s WiFi, it will detect the PLDT Home Fibr’s default SSID or WiFi name.
What Happens When you don’t Change your PLDT Fibr WiFi Password
Your PLDT Fibr WiFi Password might be compromised using the Hex Code/Mac Table technique
When that happens, the hacker will only need to get the last five digits of your WiFi name. Then convert it using the Hex Code/Mac Table. That’s it, and your neighbors can now access your WiFi for Free by adding the default “PLDTWIFI + the converted five (5) last digits”.
The good thing about PLDT Home Fibr is that PLDT WiFi hacker apps will not work on it. And changing your PLDT Home Fibr WiFi name and password will keep the hacker at bay. Which what we are going to do.

Sir..i successfully changed my username and password and thank you for your guide. However, the old wifi username ay meron pa din po and and still have an internet connection whenever i want to use that wifi connection. So it means ung mga devices na nka connect doon ay may access pa rin sa net namin. So sir paano e remove ang old wifi username pra ung mga devices na nka connect na dati doon ay wla nang net connection. Thanks po
I.C Tiempo says
Please be guided po na dalawa po ang WiFi access ng PLDT Fibr. Disable mo lang ang WiFi na ayaw mo ng gamitin.
