If you think about it, home routers and similar stuff are a perfect target for malware: they're rushed to market (probably with little QA and lots of bugs) and never updated. And we're seeing malware targeting it only now? Strange... |

@jezuch: I've been to the offices of a company developing consumer-grade wireless routers and I can confirm your observation. They weren't even using source control for the firmware builds..email was it!!! What's Q/A??? Questions and Answers? What are you talking about? |
