Hi all, I don't know whether this has been flagged up on the list already (I don't remember seeing it), but a rather serious vulnerability shared by 99% (apparently) of all routers exists. I originally saw it listed here; http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2008/01/15/home_router_insecurity/ and the details are here; http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/hacking-the-interwebs an here; http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/flash-upnp-attack-faq Apparently the only fix is to turn off uPnP on your router, if your are lucky enough to have such as option. Mine didn't. : ( Apologies if you already know all about it.
