Hey man- professional courtesy here: "if linksys users believe their routers are compromised" is possibly the worst way to frame this. You should flatly advise users to update.


There's no patch. The fix is just to reflash Linksys firmware to make sure you're not running compromised firmware.


Given that there is a chance for things to go wrong, I wonder what's the real-world success rate of firmware upgrades performed by nontechnical users? Is it worth it when most devices very likely aren't infected?
