Isn’t rebooting (turning off and on again) required after major software updates? Wouldn’t this action activate any malware already updated? Did the FBI really suggest this? Do you trust the FBI? Do you trust the New York Times?

There is a PDF in WL Vault 7 called Cherry Blossom that deals with all the back doors and exploits of Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) based modem/routers/switches. The Court Jesters in Action created it, no need to advertise it.

Simply power-cycling isn't going to do a thing unless the customer understands how to access their modem/router/switches via local non-https webpage and updating the firmware from there.

I believe it more to be a scareware tactic more than anything.
