Malware Attacking Your Router?

[~BD~]

"Instead of installing malware that continues to run like a key logger or
trojan, malicious programs are increasingly attacking the network router
which is common with any internet connected home and/or office. An unwanted
program can quickly make a change to your router settings that will
immediately open all your computers to the world. The bad guys won't have to
install a key logger, they'll be able to record every byte that goes across
your network. It's happening now to thousands of routers which are still
using their default name and password."

First, your lack understanding about and use of Usenet, including your
broken Usenet client, is a good indicator that you're not highly
technical or of a base that understands the Net well enough to be
starting a blog to help people that you hope to see your message in
here.

You asked for comments, and being 100% honest and blunt, which many PC
liberal types can't handle, I stated that you should post to usenet for
a few years before you start spamming Usenet... with your blog.

In all honesty, it isn't "his" Blog. It is by Bill P. author of WinPatrol.
WinPatrol is a trusted anti malware utility.

There is no such thing as a trusted anti malware utility.

Remember BD "No good deed will ever go unpunished".

This is one reason why I hardly ever post here anymore, the person I'm
trying to help never answers and I get cra_ from others, I was thinking of
posting that link a couple of days ago because it is worth knowing, now you
know why I didn't. But thank you.

It appeared to be the same as all other other spams and since I didn't
recognize the poster I made the comment accordingly.

I rarely see the need to advertise a blog in this group like was done,
but putting a reputable blog in a sig or posting links in response to
people needing help is always a good thing.

If it had not been posted in the same light as other spams I would not
have replied the way I did. Any of us that have been around for years
know how to properly post to usenet, including snipping sigs, even if we
had to snip manually.... normally a good indicator that the poster is
not familiar with Usenet which means they've not been here long.

So far I've not seen any reply from the person that indicates I was
wrong, just questioning my post without an explanation of their reason.

If your post didn't look like spam and the link was to a reputable site,
why would anyone be critical of it?

LOL! If you are so Usenet savvy, how come you don't know this is
"Boater Dave", is *not* spam(look up the definition) and don't seem to
even know who the author of the Blog is? I've *very rarely* seen you
post *anything* helpful or relevant, preferring instead to post your
"rebuttals" (pun intended) to PCButts1's posts ad nauseum...
Get a clue!

Thank you for responding in this maner 'jen'. Everything I've ever seen
*you* post has been helpful and relevant ....... and I hope, by now, you
know that BoaterDave (yes, me!) wants nothing more than the bad guys hung
out to dry. I'd be grateful if you would take a look at the response to my
post (identical) placed in 'microsoft.public.security.homeusers' - the reply
is from Kerry Brown (aka TechB) who *doesn't* seem to think this a serious
threat. Perhaps you could respond in each group thereafter.

TIA

Dave

Hello Mike!

Thank you for responding. This place is a minefield for a 'newbie' but it
really doesn't have to be that way. Please stay here and help whenever you
are able! You have my assurance that *I* will respond to any answer you give

I don't know BD and I didn't visit the blog, there was no reason. It's
that simple and nothing more.

Unlike you, I can live with being wrong and have been in the past. The
post appeared to be spam and was improperly formatted in a reply, like
your post is not properly quoting the text you quoted.

So, yes, it appears that BD is a good member, that the blog is
reputable, but, I had not seen either before and took it for face value.

Maybe you can get your Usenet interface fixed while you ponder the
simple misunderstanding because of a lack of explanation.

If you wish to reply to me please do so in person. Read my post again. I do
take this threat seriously. What the threat can do has been exaggerated in
the blog you posted a link to. The seriousness of the threat is not in
question. I've been warning people about this for quite a while.
