Comment on Mystery malware destroys 600,000 routers from a single ISP during 72-hour span
Hackworth@lemmy.world 6 months agoMaybe, or a bigger ISP wants to get in on that rural turf. But I was wondering what else the malware may have done before physically destroying those routers. I also kinda wonder if this might be a test run for a larger attack. And now I’m imagining what it might be like if everyone’s routers bricked in a 72 hour period. I think I’ll pick up some extra TP tomorrow.

Imagine if a country lost all communications as a prelude to invasion. Think about it, there would be chaos and communication would be hard.
Of course that would require someone to compromise a wide variety of devices and networks. Good thing we don’t have issues with centralization.
