Don’t dismiss the latest warning from FBI

Recently an alert went out issued by the FBI referencing a large number of  WiFi Routers that may be compromised and unsafe to use, see original statement HERE.
Many articles state that you should be “rebooting” / restarting your WiFi routers, others say you may need to update firmware on your devices to the latest version in order to be more secure, there are multiple brands/models known to be targeted, out of respect to WiFi Router manufacturers we’ll refrain from listing them here without concrete verification but the Brands/Models can be found on the web with a little research. McLean Data has assisted with remove/replace of some of these devices at current clients – at the very least re-start your WiFi Router, potentially upgrade the firmware and for maximum security if you have one of the specific models/brands on the list….throw it away and replace it.
