Comment on 14,000 routers are infected by malware that's highly resistant to takedowns
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 day agoWell reading the article, it says the botnet is infecting 14,000 routers a day. Not that there are only 14k infected routers in the world.

That’s a misreading of what it means. The botnet averages 14,000 routers + IoT devices a day, not new devices per day. Every day, devices cycle in and out of these botnets, so their count is always in flux.
