Wow, someone deployed malware in October of 2023 which bricked 600,000 Internet routers -- owned by a SINGLE ISP.

"over 600,000 small office/home office (SOHO) routers were taken offline belonging to a single internet service provider (ISP). The incident took place over a 72-hour period between October 25-27, rendered the infected devices permanently inoperable, and required a hardware-based replacement."

It's SO great that my home network can transfer data faster than the hard drives can write it! #2point5Gbgps

Thanks to my new #Plugable 2.5G #USBC adapters! Also bought 2.5Gbps #Asustor 5 Port switches to hook the major things together (#Synology, #iMac, #M1 #MBP13") and connected them to far points in the house using #ScreenBeam (#ActionTec sister company) #Bonded #MoCA 2.5 #Network #Adapters.

This is rock-solid and I would recommend the upgrade to any people wanting to upgrade #ethernet!
