I opened tickets with SEVERAL (More than 10) companies on the day of the news release regarding the potential for vulnerabilities in their products. Every single one of them except Netgear has answered all questions to my satisfaction and all of those tickets are closed. We will be unplugging all netgear products until we have an answer.
Thank You,
