A friendly note to home users with broadband routers : Quite a large number of home routers in use for years have open resolver fault. Please go to

check your router status and upgrade the firmware to plug the hole.
By having your router as an open resolver, you are helping cybercriminals to launch DDoS attacks.














This is evidence of ASUS RT-N66U routers able to do DNS amplification attacks.
