There are other terms for people who don’t maintain their equipment, it’s usually described as negligent. If my hardware were rebooting, I would be red-faced first about not having done something and not blaming someone outside. I don’t know if it was a researcher or something buggy sending packets or anything else. (I have no unique direct insight). What I do know is the ASAs under my control and purview had no issues. Take the free upgrade and move on folks. - Jared
