An unknown threat actor with equally unknown motives forces ISP to replace routers.
An unknown threat actor with equally unknown motives forces ISP to replace routers.
Great way to sell more routers. Just sayin’
Maybe, or a bigger ISP wants to get in on that rural turf. But I was wondering what else the malware may have done before physically destroying those routers. I also kinda wonder if this might be a test run for a larger attack. And now I’m imagining what it might be like if everyone’s routers bricked in a 72 hour period. I think I’ll pick up some extra TP tomorrow.
Imagine if a country lost all communications as a prelude to invasion. Think about it, there would be chaos and communication would be hard.
Of course that would require someone to compromise a wide variety of devices and networks. Good thing we don’t have issues with centralization.
