Linksys Routers Exploited By "TheMoon" 134
UnderAttack writes "A vulnerability in many Linksys routers, allowing for unauthenticated code execution, is being used to mass-exploit various Linksys routers right now. Infected routers will start scanning for vulnerable systems themselves, leading to a very fast spread of this 'worm.'"
That's impossible (Score:5, Funny)
Linksys routers run Linux and Linux is Open Source. Therefore there are no bugs because theoretically someone can look at the code and fix the code.
This also means that it's impossible for bad people to look at the code and exploit the code because Open Source makes everyone honest by magic.
Oh, and by virtue of being able to look at the code, Linksys routers magically patch themselves before the bugs even come into existence!
In conclusion, Windows is the cause of all security problems.

Also, Linksys is owned by Cisco. Cisco makes IOS for their routers. iOS is on iPhones. iPhones have never had a worm like this.
Ipso facto, this is unpossible

No, but it does affect routers that have smiley face stickers applied to the top or sides.
