A remotely exploitable vulnerability in the Nighthawk line of Netgear routers was disclosed on Friday. The flaw leaves customers exposed to having their connections hijacked, as someone exploiting the vulnerability can take complete control of the device. Despite having months to address the problem, Netgear has yet to publish a fix. The vulnerability was discovered in August by Andrew Rollins, a security researcher from St Louis, MO. A possible mitigation is the run routers with non-standard addresses, but most home users do not do this.”]
