If Your Customers Are Getting Spammed, Ask What Router They're Using
BroadbandReports is reporting today (My DLink Router Is Spamming Me) that the latest firmware update for some D-Link routers will hijack search screens every 8 hours and try to sell users a security subscription.
BBR is usually ahead of the curve on news like this because of the crowdsourcing power of the its tech-savvy and massive readership.
Karl Bode of BBR opines, "This kind of spam from a piece of purchased hardware should be opt-in, or better yet, not exist at all. I've got a sneaking suspicion that DLink will learn this the hard way by this time next week."
