If you have anyone in the family that uses this piece of corporate marketing gone awry then tell them to be careful ! It's been reported that the Home Hub router component has been compromised following navigating to a specially crafted website from a machine behind the router.

It never ceases to amaze me how many loopholes companies leave in technology products. Do they not care, or is it a case of cost before security? :(
I think its a case of poor testing/need to get product to market, so they leave the user as a beta tester until such issues arise then they patch them with new firmware Rik, happens with almost all products now :(
Not just software-based ones either, Gary. :(
