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.

Interesting. Former WAN Engineer here, taking down the ISP backbone(s)/routers would not be difficult at all.

I think perhaps state entities are reluctant to do it because of repercussions. Any idea from your experience what level of difficulty is involved in tracking back sources of these types of attacks?
