If you have a Netgear router

Filed under: — perry @ 12:17 am

You may want to upgrade the firmware on your router if you have one of these routers.

That page details an accidental DDoS attack against the University of Wisconsin from those routers. Basically, they try to sync their clocks against a wisc.edu server and are flooding their network. wisc.edu is doing their best to deal with the flood, but I’m sure it is driving their bandwidth bill through the roof and driving their network admins insane.

Be a nice netizen.
