Translated: NSA just dropped a new global spyware update and needs us all to reboot for the install to finalize
That’s pretty funny coming from the NSA
What fresh hell is this
They just wanna see who does it
Yeah…computer says No!
IYKYK
Why? So the spy software the NSA pushed to it overnight kicks in?
Why does their warning sound like a scam?
bleh, the advice in the article is actually to reboot your router every week. That sounds like a whole burden.
Never rebooting it again.
I’ll reboot and install OpenWRT while at it.
Since when has the NSA had my best interests at heart?? They violate our rights unchecked. They are the enemy of the people.
This is common sense, not a plot or a conspiracy by Big Reboot. If your router has malware installed on it, and it’s not persistent, the reboot gets rid of it. If the malware is persistent, you’re hosed, and this won’t impact you either way.
Why is the only article about this by Forbes? Can’t find another news source as yet stating to do this.
Citizens are warned that APT28 (aka Fancy Bear) hackers working for Russia’s military “have been collecting credentials and exploiting vulnerable routers worldwide, including compromising TP-Link routers using [CVE-2023-50224](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2023-50224).”
The TL;DR on this warning is to stop using end-of-life internet routers and to ensure that ones still under support are updated regularly.
I have my router and mesh devices on a daily scheduled reboot as a best practice.
Wait, my Spectrum internet was going off and on all day yesterday. And for the first time in decades of having this service, I got an email last night saying they’d send a technician for free to either check/upgrade my connection. What the heck, lol.
OpenWRT/OpnSense for the win.
Plot twist, nsa released their own spyware update and need routers to reboot for it to apply but they can’t reboot it themselves remotely.
Man, if only the NSA hadn’t blown their credibility with the public by illegally spying on us
Have we tried just unplugging America and plugging it back in?
When NSA starts sounding more & more like a phishing attempt…
If your router is blasting as part of a botnet your ISP will let you know. Reboot if you want, but don’t trust the NSA for fuck sake.
the agency that spies on all of our internet traffic is warning us about people spying on our internet traffic
It is a shame that US citizens cannot trust their government anymore.
this is probably a scam first they ban all routers made outside the us this is not about security for us its probably them installing a spyware network who trusts the nsa after Snowden leaks
The firmware they installed needs to be rebooted to complete installation.
Russian military hackers and the NSA both care an equal amount about the well-being of US citizens.
If I have to wage my own cyber defense against the Rooskies, then maybe high speed internet should be a utility.
So they are telling everyone to stop using end of life routers right after they announced a ban on all routers made not exclusively in the US? Can someone explain how this is not an attempt to force people onto US routers that likely have NSA and CIA backdoors installed?
