Hot Take:

Looks like it's time to turn that old Asus router into a doorstop, because if you don't, TheMoon malware might just recruit it into the cybercriminal underworld faster than you can say "What's my Wi-Fi password again?" Seriously, these routers are joining the dark side quicker than a Sith Lord on a bad day, and if you're still using one, you might as well put up a sign that says "Hackers Welcome!"
