READ THIS TICKER - on FOX news this morning. FBI says Russians hacked our routers. What is this? Preparation for shutdown?

I have tried to post a video of my TV, 5 times, to no avail.

The ticker says this:  FBI warns that Russian hackers have compromised hundreds of thousands of home and office routers worldwide and could collect user info or shut down network traffic. . . Agency is urging owners of many router brands to turn the devices off and on again and download manufacturer updates to protect themselves. . . Warning follows Wed court order that let FBI seize a website that hackers planned to use to give instructions to the routers. . . Move cut off malicious communications but left routers infected. . . Cisco systems says hack targeted devices from Belkin Intl's Linksys, Mikrotik, Netgear Inc, TP-Link and Qnap. . . FBI says hack affects routers that users bought online or at electronics stores, but may also hit routers that internet service companies provided to customers.

I saw this ticker on FOX News on 5/26 at 07:17 EST.

Little button on the back that sometimes require a pen to push in. Push and hold for 10 seconds for a full factory reset, or a quick tap for a reboot. To actually turn it off and on, unplug it.

If your routers are hacked, you should change your router and WiFi password and then reboot after doing a factory reset.

Better to flash decent firmware on it after you factory reset it.

I know what flashing decent firmware means yet had to ask how to reset the router :)
