[Malvern] Fw: [mlvrnfreecycle] OFFERED: D-Link wireless router(malvern link)

[Ian Pascoe]

Yeah this is beginning to get a real problem in the big wide world nowadays.

Although it probably doesn't apply much to you list members, but those who
use an ISP supplied modem / router that does firmware updates automatically,
can be attacked and have the update URL etc pointed to a naughty server.

But on the flip side, this can only happen if the routers / modems firewall
is disabled .... and as no one is so foolish enough to do this .... Oh Well,
perhaps there are a few foolish people out there.

E + O

I simply meant it as an invitation to the list to consider what might
happen if a home broadband router (wired/wireless doesn't really matter)
was properly compromised so it could silently redirect traffic to
wherever the malware creators wished.
