I had a rootkit once that rewrote router firmware to reinfect a factory-reset on your PC machine. It was rough until I figured it out. Took about a week of heavy combat. Once I learned to flash the router to factory as well, it went away.

Part of everyday life these days. But if you are clicking on emails or downloading porn, you are kind of stupid.

Swordmaker was the one who posted an article about this threat, two days ago. He didn’t downplay or obfuscate.
