Hihi
Games are afoot at Virgin, 3 of my 4 Ambit 250s are dead
Somehow (possibly because they had the default login, I've changed the one I managed to unplug as I realised what was happening) these modems are bricked, all went down within 15 minutes of each other
No output on Max232, sit there with network light slowly going on and off, possibly because sat in a reboot cycle, IE: bricked.
Curiously, my 200s are completely unaffected although whether that will last is anyones guess
Anyone using a 250 with infinite who hasn't changed the default login/password had better do so now:
This is how:
Connect as normal then do (Note, type this at cm> prompt, NOT at bootloader, definitely not after hitting p at bootloader):
cd \non
cd msg
user_name YOURUSERNAME
password YOURPASSWORD
write
(then reboot your modem)
(obviously replacing the YOURUSERNAME/YOURPASSWORD values with appropriate ones)
You should do this asap, while this current attack might only affect my area, it will probably be seen elsewhere too.
No, it was not a power surge, they went down very close together but not at exactly the same time, the one that I changed the password on seems fine so it seems fairly likely they can get in only with the defaults.
