The FBI recommended yesterday that we all restart our routers to keep our home networks secure. This is not a joke nor something to ignore.
How do you restart your router? Check out this 30-second video.
Why should you do this? To disable Russian-linked malware
When should you do this? Immediately.
Their recommendation is also to change the password on your router and to update the firmware if any updates are available.
Both the video and the accompanying news item can be found here - http://abc7news.com/technology/video-how-to-reboot-your-router-to-avoid-malware/3531630/
And, yes, I restarted our router as soon as I saw the news story on TV yesterday morning. I didn't even think twice about doing it!
