F.B.I.’s Urgent Request: Reboot Your Router to Stop Russia-Linked Malware


Whatever your position in our current political world..this is simple..off...and then back on:

"Hoping to thwart a sophisticated malware system linked to Russia that has infected hundreds of thousands of internet routers, the F.B.I. has made an urgent request to anybody with one of the devices: Turn it off, and then turn it back on.

The malware is capable of blocking web traffic, collecting information that passes through home and office routers and disabling the devices entirely, the bureau announced on Friday.

A global network of hundreds of thousands of routers is already under the control of the Sofacy Group, the Justice Department said last week. That group, which is also known as A.P.T. 28 and Fancy Bear and believed to be directed by Russia’s military intelligence agency, hacked the Democratic National Committee ahead of the 2016 presidential election, according to American and European intelligence agencies."

Something tells me simply rebooting a modem is a band-aide approach to an arterial bleed.......

Dunno..it does seem a bit simplistic..or course..if a few million people do it..perhaps it has value?
I dunno...seemed easy enough..so i went for it.

Ahhh..another fool heard from....I voted locally...passed on the Presidential bad choices.

All Putin wants...is for fools like you to continue doing what you are doing..lying and dividing the US. This serves his interests to a 'T'.

Pretty much a one- trick pony, aren't you?
