Re: Virgin Media urges password change over hacking risk

Them seem to think they fixed the flaws last week ??

Virgin Media has assured customers with a Super Hub router that a security flaw has been resolved.

Researchers from Context Information Security found vulnerabilities in the Super Hub 2 and Super Hub 2AC that meant hackers could monitor traffic going in and out of the device.

This was possible because, although configuration back-ups had been encrypted, the private encryption key was identical across all UK hubs.

Virgin Media has now deployed a firmware patch that addresses this shortcoming and assured customers they are no longer at risk.
Need to make their minds up, is it secure or not?
