Mystery malware destroys 600,000 routers from a single ISP during 72-hour span:
An unknown threat actor with equally unknown motives forces ISP to replace routers.

Hi #oss folks, I need #help with a possible #malware infection in #Firefox on #Linux. After accidentally visiting a spammy website I am getting suspicious and short-lived #popup windows with a grey border in the corner of the screen. Their text seems to always starts with (A).
