- jnbiche 9y agoNo. The point is, you could be downloading a corrupted copy of the firmware with exploits, for example. If your firmware has such exploits, what good is the fact that most of your traffic goes over https?
- moreless 9y agoNot to side with him, but I think what GP was trying to say is that exploit on router firmware doesn't necessarily mean that your computer will get owned too - which is true. However owning a router makes further attacks much easier. Also, owning a router is advantageous for attacker in itself.
