ASUS routers knocked offline worldwide by bad security update
ASUS has apologized to its customers for a server-side security maintenance error that has caused a wide range of impacted router models to lose network connectivity.www.bleepingcomputer.com

The ASD is a built-in security daemon supplied by Trend Micro, and it is used in a wide range of router models for real-time protection against emerging threats.
However, this component is updated regardless of whether the user has automatic security (firmware) updates enabled on their device or not.
Reportedly, the corrupted definition file for ASD was automatically pushed to all impacted routers, causing them to run out of filesystem space and memory and eventually crash.
OK. Sinänsä hyvä idea tuollainen lisäsuojaus, etenkin jos se ei vaadi mitään lisämaksuja lisenssiä/päivityksiä vastaan. Toteutus vois olla parempikin...
