Going away from home for several days. Turn modem off? Ed
They can be hacked just as easily while in use too (you won't "see" the attack taking place even if you're actively using the device either).Modems and other devices attached

This.If you aren't running any smart devices that need the internet, then yes turn off the modem. I have water sensors and cameras, thermostat etc, so no sense in turning stuff off for me.
So it being on for 27 days vs 31 days makes a measurable difference, don't think so.Security because of obscurity works best the less you are on and yes obscurity is the main protection online sadly
