FBI Is Asking Everyone to Reboot Their Routers to Stop Russian Malware Infection
Speaking of Russian hackers......
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...ssian-malware-
infection.html
The FBI made a bombshell announcement on Friday that is only starting to gain a bit of traction over the weekend. Russian hackers have developed a sophisticated malware system that has already infected hundreds of thousands of routers. The good news is that the recommendation on how to combat the infection is easy enough—turn it off and then turn it back on again. Anyone who has a home or small office router should go ahead and do that just to be safe.

I have high security on my router - it is connected with a "Clapper" so I can reboot it easily!

is this a dim attempt by the fbi to add credibility to their Russian collusion lie?

One further recommendation:
Conservatives should turn off their routers - and leave them off.
