That's a bold admission. I guess they aren't worried about people questioning either how the know or how they are able to remotely control our routers.
Another bit of evidence of the dystopia.
Probably through the same exploit.
This and taking control of botnet control panels are the most common methods.
Something that also often happens is that your home connection has been used in some sort of attack or your IP is found in some other logs and your ISP gets contacted, often even automatically. I had a compromised device on my network once and my ISP kept calling me to fix it. I'm sure if it was router malware some ISPs might use their CWMP or SNMP access to clear it.
Their engineered backdoor no doubt
Edit: better/newer article than the prior I supplied.
Maybe try another source?
The FBI utilized cutting edge technology and leveraged our private sector and international partners to unmask this malicious activity and remediate routers.
Oh so Palantir and Mossad did it.
Awesome.
They're in there anyway. Might as well do something good.
