DrayTek Router Reboot Ruckus: Global Connectivity Chaos Unplugged!

Routers made by DrayTek are throwing tantrums and rebooting worldwide, leaving users disconnected. Complaints are pouring in from the UK, Australia, Germany, and Vietnam. DrayTek advises unplugging the WAN and updating firmware to fix the issue, but it’s unclear if hackers are the puppet masters behind these rebooting shenanigans.

Hot Take:

Well, it seems like DrayTek routers have taken ‘disconnect to reconnect’ a bit too literally! While we all love a good power nap, these routers may be overdoing it by rebooting globally. Kudos to DrayTek for keeping us on our toes and making “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” the mantra of the month!

Key Points:

  • DrayTek routers are globally rebooting, causing internet woes.
  • Majority of issues reported in the UK, Australia, Germany, and Vietnam.
  • DrayTek suggests firmware updates as a potential fix.
  • Suspected router vulnerabilities could be the culprit.
  • Security experts suspect possible exploitation by threat actors.
