The FBI recommends any owner of small office and home office routers reboot the devices to temporarily disrupt the malware and aid the potential identification of infected devices. Owners are advised to consider disabling remote management settings on devices and secure with strong passwords and encryption when enabled. Network devices should be upgraded to the latest available versions of firmware.

Edit: I am not sure if It belongs in networking hardware or in off topic. Please move it if necessary.

I didn’t see it posted so I thought I would post it here for visibility.

To be clear, I don’t think rebooting will actually help you. Apparently, it is just to help them identify infected devices. I don’t know how. Any ideas?
