Reboot Routers Now: FBI Warns of VPNFilter Malware

[StevieTNZ]

I saw this article yesterday -- http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world...ne-including-you-to-reboot-their-routers.html -- and have rebooted my routers, despite them not being on the list.

Thought I'd bring this to the attention of everyone, in case their router(s) are infected.

Happy rebooting!

Thanks I saw that warning too.

Another one was to change your passwords on your Arlo wireless camera security system as the passwords may have been compromised.

After seeing the warning on a couple of national TV news programs, this morning I (1) rebooted my DSL modem which also serves as my router, (2) downloaded and installed the latest firmware for it, and (3) changed the password. I should probably keep an eye on the firmware web page to see if a new version appears. The one I installed was from February.

Does this apply to connections where the broadband line directly enters the LAN card in the CPU?
