https://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykar ... c408274e0dThe FBI believes Russian computer hackers have compromised hundreds of thousands of computers around the world, and are advising everyone to reboot their routers to prevent the spread of malware.
In a quick bit of government intervention, the DOJ, in cooperation with the FBI, seized control of the domain the Sofacy Group was using for the botnet. This is good news for infected parties, since the malware won't be able to restablish itself after communication has been interrupted. But for that to happen, you need to reboot your routers. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security have both issued statements requesting as much.
