Millions of routers vulnerable to new version of old attack.
A presentation due to be shown at the Black Hat security conference at the end of the month will show that many of the routers used for residential internet connections are vulnerable to attack by hackers. The attacks would allow traffic to be redirected and intercepted, in addition to giving hackers access to victims' local networks.

Hmm yes I see.. Strange.. The URL is exactly the same as the one I used.
I've made the URL shorter, and should work now. (it does for me)

It's a short list, so it's hardly representative for all routers, besides, the researchers are US-based so a Fritz!Box would be very hard to come by....
I guess dnssec is something that would prevent this, although I'm not sure, anyone have more insight than me?
