After reading this we are recommending that anyone with a Netgear router/firewall product checks the following URL:
http://<<address_of_router>>/BRS_02_genieHelp.html
If this comes up with an authentication request then there is no need for concern – HOWEVER if this does present a page to you then we STRONGLY recommend turning off Remote administration of the router until Netgear issues an update – or getting a new (non Netgear) router/firewall.
Vulnerabilities in some Netgear router and NAS products open door to remote attacks – Techworld.com.
