I need to get my E3000 hooked up, apparently. Maybe I'm safe enough for the time being since my WRT54G is running DD-WRT? Hehe. Title: Re: Is Your Router Vulnerable?

I would wager most people here would have things properly configured, but they may have a relative or friend that does not. I look at these sort of incidents as a good opportunity for people to educate their less tech savvy associations or if nothing else double-check their settings. :slippy_thumb:
