Yeah.  I don't really know what to make of it.  I went ahead and reset our 
router, because as you said, it's so easy to do.  Guess we'll see what's next. 

FBI advising people to reboot routers to disrupt malware attack

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

I got this last night and thought I would pass it along.  The Airport routers 
are not on the list of known vulnerable devices, but I know many here have 
other routers, so thought I would share with the list.  The Ars Tecnica article 
is online here:
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/05/fbi-tells-router-users-to-reboot-now-to-kill-malware-infecting-500k-devices/
 

 
Best,
Donna
