We worry about all the holes Microsoft has in Windows and every week we get updates.
Are we safe now?
No, because it is no longer Windows. , Now they are after your router. I missed this story last month. It knocked me over. Why even bother doing a scan on my Windows XP system if the worm is in the router! Look at this:
Psyb0t is armed with 6000 common usernames and 13,000 popular passwords that it tries in various combinations to gain entry to your home network. Most home-based routers will give you unlimited attempts to get the username and password correct, making these devices an ideal target for infection. Also, unlike your PC, your router and modem are running 24 hours a day meaning psyb0t has a relatively unlimited amount of time to try and gain access.
