DrayTek Router Reboot Ruckus: Firmware Faux Pas or Hacker Hijinks?
DrayTek routers have mysteriously started rebooting like they’re auditioning for a role in a tech horror film. The company blames suspicious TCP connection attempts on outdated firmware. However, which vulnerabilities are being exploited, and why these routers are now playing peek-a-boo with connectivity, remains as murky as your last coffee.
Hot Take:
It seems like DrayTek routers are taking a leaf from the “reboot your computer” playbook, but not in a helpful way. Instead of fixing issues, they’re causing tech enthusiasts to pull their hair out while pondering whether their routers have joined the rebel alliance against stable internet connections!
Key Points:
- DrayTek routers worldwide are mysteriously rebooting, causing connectivity chaos.
- The reboots are linked to TCP connection attempts from IP addresses with dubious reputations.
- Older router models with outdated firmware are primarily affected.
- DrayTek suspects exploitation of vulnerabilities but remains vague on specifics.
- Patches for these issues have been available since fall 2024, but uptake seems slow.
