And what about those professional hackers in China & Russia that are 
quietly rerouting CPE DNS queries to their 'special' servers? (not for any 
lulz mind you, but for real $'s) What can the cops here do about them? I 
reckon it is better that your router goes down (for lulz) and you know 
that there IS a problem rather than it continuing to quietly just steal 
all your stuff for years and years. Better a router that goes down than 
your bank account! IMHO
