Whats sort of comical is if I pinged www.amazon.com itself, it gave me a weird IP in the nederlands. Going to the IP directly you could see the list of all the sites they had uploaded in their little apache server thing. what I thought was odd was they only had the US, Canada, and Australia sites (.com, .ca, and .au)

More money to be made there, I suppose.

they may only have had exploits for routers in those countries

yeah true. I'm still not 100% sure how her computer got infected, I did see about 8 or 9 downloads that my dad put on there that were definitely malware but I'm not sure if it was to blame. they were "Court_Appearance_Notice.doc.exe" (x9)

they also might've only tried to target people in those countries because it's easier to sell their personal info

well I guess the US probably has less diversity of telecommunications companies than europe so probably a much wider net can be cast with a default router username and password

ugh.... my friend and I have been waiting for Wurm Unlimited to come out for over a month now, they let you host your own server and can change the rate of exp, monster spawns, etc etc. We were going to have a big halloween party this weekend and get like 8 of us on there for the nostalgia and fun... but it came out today and announced it costs $30. For a game that's like, ten years old, looks like shit, and runs like shit... not worth it.

yeah I'm not sure if it's very different there, but every router I've set up here the username and password has always been just admin:password or admin:admin

i just assumed the telco supplies the router in most cases so it's a nice big target. I mean I have a generic router supplied by my ISP ... I changed my passwords though :P
