NSA Warned Everyone to Reboot Their Routers

Similar vibes to a single, older, creepy gentleman telling a group of young school children at the park not to talk to strangers.

so NSA installed a backdoor to each router and now needs you to restart it to open the backdoor?

In this day and age, and we still lack formally-proven, FOSS/FOSHW, minimal consumer edge routers and WiFi APs.

"Replace outdated routers" yeah good luck with that, they're all banned.

Reminder, HN, you all live in the real world. Chinese state sponsored cyber threat actors use orb networks that are primarily made via strung together off the shelf routers. The literal companies that build and maintain these ORB networks also resell this capability to Russian military intelligence and cyber threat actors.
