The story you are reading is a series of scoops nestled inside a far more urgent Internet-wide security advisory. The vulnerability at issue has been exploited for months already, and it’s time for a broader awareness of the threat. The short version is that everything you thought you knew about the security of the internal network behind your Internet router probably is now dangerously out of date.

Interesting. I tried to post this same article last night and I kept getting "invalid URL". Is there a trick to posting @BrikoX@lemmy.zip?

[-] BrikoX@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

Not as far as I know. What client are you using? I posted this using Photon client (m.lemmy.zip).

[-] MagnificentSteiner@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

I'm on desktop using Firefox. I tried both the article URL and the top level domain and it wouldn't take either. Could have just been a temporary issue I guess.

Linus Tech Tips did an exposé on those boxes a few years ago
