Forse ci potrebbe essere una correlazione tra l'argomento di questa discussione e il botnet Reaper (software malevolo automatico che infetta le grandi reti di computer) che ha come obiettivo i dispositivi IoT senza correzione di sicurezza; D-Link USA ha recentemente pubblicato i firmware aggiornati per tutte le versioni del DIR-850L, basate su circuiteria Realtek:

Security researchers have warned that a new botnet called Reaper has been actively attempting to target unpatched IoT devices that could be vulnerable to attack.
