Security Alert Released FridayReboot home and small office computer routers. The FBI Advisory I saw this reported on Fox News Friday morning. It must not be true though because it was on Fox News. |

Plenty Funny
Admin said: "It must not be true though because it was on Fox News."
I almost said something similar in my opening post... I came close to saying, "What is the FBI trying to achieve with this lie?"
There are so many agencies that aren't known for their honesty.
Anyway, I'm glad I didn't say it because it left the way open for Admin to use Fox as the dupe.

Thank You Druid Hills for the Deep Look
And before the moment goes away we must ask...
Since when does the FBI give a hoot about ordinary citizens?

Conspiracy Thinking
The other night at 2:30 AM there was a 20-second electricity black out. That caused a lot of routers to reset.
Granted, there was a half-ass storm going on, so blame it on global warming.

A reset takes it back to the Factor Default. |

I saw this article today that helps explain why the FBI made this recommendation, and it makes sense. Reboot Your Router Like the FBI Says, But Don't Stop There
From the article:
"The FBI recommends any owner of small office and home office routers reboot the devices to temporarily disrupt the malware and aid the potential identification of infected devices.
By rebooting our routers in mass, we are not only forcing the infected ones to identify themselves by calling to their masters for a re-download of stages one and two, but also lighting up the distribution network, which will have to work overdrive to deliver all these packages at once. It's a smart strategy, especially if the FBI can solve the root problem. But in the meantime your router might remain infected, and there is, as of this writing, no good way to check." |
