gnucitizen bt home hub latest, attacks wide spread, outages reported

["worried security" <worriedsecurity () googlemail com>]

gnucitizen 0day concerning bt home hub router firmware is vulnerable to
attack.

bbc radio 1's newsbeat program has been reporting today that customers can't
connect to the internet.

bbc radio 1 is a national and international radio station.

i tried to look on the bbc radio 1 newsbeat site but they haven't put an
online version of the report online.

they didn't say gnucitizen on the radio but they said a group.

they said bt customers have been reporting problems with their bt home hub
and the report said bt are denying its connected with the security groups
disclosure.

this is very interesting but there is very little online about it, even from
the bbc, who have been reporting on it via bbc radio 1 at 16:30pm (UK GMT)
today.

i urge people to investigate.

gnucitizen may be responible for bt being under a massive attack right now.

the media can phone up bbc radio 1 newsbeat and ask for a copy of the report
to be put online.

i think they should.

the bbc radio 1 shouldn't give reports like that without putting it online.

should gnucitizen get into trouble or should we not blame the researchers
and only the script kids who have brought down bt today?

bbc radio 1 is a music station and the news reports are just top of the hour
news flashes lasting about 5 miniutes.

they didn't repeat the report at 17:00pm GMT today, but maybe they will
repeat it in their 17:45pm GMT news update?

i'm sorry i don't have a link, but there isn't one online, UNBELIEVABLE for
the bbc, they are usually good at standards.
