RAX48 hacked?

So I purchased this router from Best Buy Canada last week.  Installed it Wednesday night.  Checked for firmware updates through the GUI and there weren't any.  Thursday it locked up, had to reboot it...

Hello,

 

Just had the same issue this morning. My router is a Nighthawk AX6 AX5400 Model: RAX50 running V1.0.2.82_2.0.50.

I've had this router sice May 19, 2020 and never had an issue. Only recent change is that I switched from Xfinity to ATT fiber 4 days ago.
