Just in the case you have not heard the news of the past week,<br>
<br>
There is a warning issued by the FBI about a potential malware threat to <br>
routers.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-cybersecurity-202/2018/05/24/the-cybersecurity-202-the-fbi-is-trying-to-thwart-a-massive-russia-linked-hacking-campaign/5b058e921b326b492dd07e55/?utm_term=.3ecb87d65a41" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.washingtonpost.<wbr>com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-<wbr>cybersecurity-202/2018/05/24/<wbr>the-cybersecurity-202-the-fbi-<wbr>is-trying-to-thwart-a-massive-<wbr>russia-linked-hacking-<wbr>campaign/<wbr>5b058e921b326b492dd07e55/?utm_<wbr>term=.3ecb87d65a41</a><br>

<br>
While I did try to dig deeper on this over the weekend, I could not <br>
obtain the grimy details.<br>
<br>
But it looks like a sleeper so you might want to do due diligence and <br>
reset your router to clear the ram.<br>
<br>
When I say sleeper, I mean it has yet to perform new duties so it might <br>
not affect anything now.<br>
<br>
I'm clearing all of mine once a day till I find out more. Just a FYI.<br>
