Chinese malware is probably preferable to whatever the FBI did with their access, and you'll never find out exactly what it was.
Hot take. They're both bad and you should use open source router firmware.
It's not even that hard to run OpenWRT or buy boxes with it on it already.
Just bought a new asus router. Planning on putting openwrt on it.
Was interested in OpenWRT until I realised its not supported on my router (its reasonably new model (2022) maybe thats why)
Even better: build your own router with OPNsense.
Even better: keep your shit up to date regardless of what you use
Even better: let the FBI patch yo shit for you.
make your tax dollars work for you
So, are you implying that the malware wasn’t involved in an attempted attack on critical infrastructure? Or do you seriously think the FBI persuaded a judge to let them go this as a front for doing something worse? Or are you just being edgy for the LOLs?
move to China if you really feel that way.. live a real Chinese malware life..
At least he couldn't post this bullshit from the concentration camp.
I would bet money that whatever the FBI is up to is less visible to the end user, and that is all anyone cares about anyway.
