>Why should I trust the FBI?
Because this is their job. And you'll probably need to reboot your router anyway in the near future so why now do it now just in case?
>Could the FBI put their own malicious code on the router, via this supposed exploit?
Sure. So could space aliens.
- kfrzcode 8y agoI don't think the FBI Special Agent job description is one line of "make humans trust you" - I believe it's closer to "protect the country from foreign and domestic threats," and I think just because the FBI tells me to jump doesn't mean I should jump... Your second point is not clear to me. Space aliens aren't an extant authority on our planet (afaik)

And if your gear is compromised, it's most likely doing something you don't want. So "jumping" is the smart move here unless you just want to be contrary. The second point is: if you're assuming a conspiracy based on zero evidence, why not go big?
