I used to have a Linksys router. But it quit working a few years ago.

Fortunately, I had the good sense to replace it with one of these.

A variety of Netgear router models are vulnerable to a simple hack that allows attackers to take almost complete control of the devices, security experts warned over the weekend.

Who knew?

All kidding aside, THANKS for posting updates on this kind of stuff.

I've got the Netgear R7000 but fortunately I bought it after they had a firmware update that prevents the hack. It's no coincidence that hackers are divided into white/gray/black hat groups. The Internet feels more and more like the Wild West every day.
