[When I created this post, I wasn't aware of the 2 discussions already on this topic: Two leading Netgear routers are vulnerable to a severe security flaw R7000 Vulnerability Note VU#582384] ...
Hi All,
The Security Advisory for VU 582384 has been updated.
Also, for more information and update see the thread below.
I got exactly the same email response from the security team. While it is very general it looks like Netgear knows about it and îs working on a fix.
I will stay put and not switch to my Comcast router which has much lower WiFi speed. Just will be very careful not to open any link, alerted my wife to be diligent with suspicious looking emails. Let's hope the Netgear team comes up with something soon.
