I should have read further - it’s a probably a white hat warning as it comes from someone “returning to the NSA” from prior assignment.

Well, it’s unclear whether this “warning” (today) about Russian malware on residential wi-fi routers comes from the DOJ or the NSA, but here ‘tis.
“The new malware, if activated, could allow the Russian military to peer into the online activities of hundreds of thousands of people.”
A threat from D.S. or a helpful reminder from white hats?
Gotta love it!!
When all else failS, drag out another failed story line.
IT”S THE RUSSIANS!!
Geez if the technology exists, we would have already used it via the NSA to gather all the information on regular citizens.
OH WAIT... smart phones, smart tvs, etc...
looks like click bait about old articles from may/june
