Belkin To Offer Firmware Fix For Router Hijacking

L-Train8 writes "Belkin has an announcement at the bottom of their homepage about the spam router. They have decided to disable the 'feature' that hijacks a random http request every 8 hours and redirects to a webpage advertising their parental control system. This will require a firmware upgrade. The message says details will be forthcoming. Interestingly, while I was preparing this submission, the message changed. Originally, it included a snippy remark about how what they were doing was not spam, despite what everyone on the internet says. The new version is much less testy."

    GNAA Announces responsibility for kernel backdoor

    By Tim Copperfield

    Raleigh, NC - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced one of their loyal members was
    responsible for planting the "backdoor" inside the popular opensores operating system, Lunix (Stocks, Websites).

    In a shocking announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative goat-see revealed that the mistery hacker who penetrated high-security defenses of the Lunix "source code" repository and injected viral gay nigger seed deep inside the kernel was indeed a full-time GNAA member.

    "This is serious," goat-see began. This is a first event of such magnitude since GNAA opened its doors to new members in 1996.
    Until now, we were gathering new members by announcing our group information on a popular troll website,
    slashdot.org, but this is a whole new era. By injecting our holy gay nigger seed right
    into the Lunix kernel, we will be able to immediately collect thousands of members. "Make the most of the next six weeks," he added. "We will grow in numbers more than you can possibly imagine".

    Insertion of the GNAA backdoor came right between the consideration of Novell to buy out
    the entire Lunix Kernel programming team, and will most likely positively affect the decision. By adding all the gay niggers
    working for Novell with the gay niggers developing Lunix kernel source, GNAA will be all-powerful and will begin plotting
    our next plans to add "backdoors" into the next favorite operating system, BeOS.
