D-Link has announced that they will not issue patches for a staggering 60,000 older modem models. These devices harbor significant security flaws that could lead to device takeover. Customers using these routers face serious security implications as the company has deemed patching these models as not worth the expense.
The Implications of No Support
The decision not to patch these vulnerabilities raises considerable concerns among users. They are left exposed to cyber threats without adequate protection. Although some may consider upgrading to newer models, the reality remains that these routers are still in use and pose ongoing risks.
What Users Can Do
