My guess?
NSA is currently figuring out how to insert backdoors into all these things.
You see, the last backdoor they used all the time, well.... people figured it out.
So, they had to ban uh, checks notes, apparently all routers, basically.
So, now they need a new backdoor into literally everything.
And ban firmware updates for existing models.
Meanwhile, Russian state hackers use vulnerabilities in old routers to poison DNS and steal credentials through MITM attacks. Agent Krasnow keeps om delivering.
