Hi All,
Here is the KB article for the said vulnerability. You can check for the specific model number that is affected.
That sounds believable but the original warning is posted by the Community Manager (ChristineT) on this very site: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Web-GUI-Password-Recovery-and-Exposure-Security-Vulnerability/m-p/1104237#M34308 So if Support is telling you it is scam they better check employee badges because they've been infiltrated.

As you can see I have never posted here previously but registered today after speaking to Tech Support. Was shocked to see the "badges"'s: OP.
I am still genuinely concerned about this issue.
Support may be misinformed but I doubt they have been infiltrated.
Does The CM Monitor all threads?
