News is sketchy at best, but apparently a security researcher at the Black Hat Conference in 7 days will release a "DNS Rebuilding" exploit for Linksys Routers with the default and different flavours of Linux Firmware (not sure if my tomato firmware is exploitable). Not sure if the hack only works on the default or simple passwords or anything (my "secure" password I use for alot of things is 19 characters long with 3 special characters, 4 capital letters, 9 numbers).

I might be buying a few DLinks today because of this.
