--Time to Update Linksys Router Firmware
(February 13, 2014)
People who own Linksys routers are being urged to update the firmware
for their devices due to reports of active attacks that exploit a
vulnerability that is present on at least two router models. Reports say
that some networks have been compromised via the vulnerable routers.

[Editor's Note (Pescatore): Linksys fails the /security sniff test -
going to www.linksys.com/security gets you error 404. For home users
that are familiar with the web management interface on their routers,
not that hard to update (for the routers that are still supported,
anyway). But not easy to get info on security issues for these products,
by any means.]
