The article advises against using USB ports on home Wi‑Fi routers because many rely on outdated, unencrypted protocols such as FTP and SMBv1 (previously abused by WannaCry), creating avoidable security and reliability risks; it recommends safer alternatives like NAS devices with encryption/RAID or reputable cloud storage, and if USB use is unavoidable, to restrict it to non-sensitive files and promptly apply firmware updates.
