Does it affect an e4200 with dd-wrt firmware?

I'm fairly sure all of those routers are branded cisco. I know my e2000 was released after they rebranded their consumer line to the cisco name.

Don't worry, it's just Skynet testing its capabilities.

Do flashing 3rd party firmware (OpenWRT, Tomato, DD-WRT, Gargoyle,etc) makes Linksys safer?

If changing the DNS addresses to 8.8.8.8 is this worm's effect, then it appears that my D-Link 2750U has been affected by that. Last week the connection was totally erratic, and I found the DNS server settings were changed. I dont remember the primary DNS, but the secondary DNS was changed to 8.8.8.8. I thought somebody hacked into my router, so reset the entire system and things were fine after that. Dont know how this thing got into the router!

Sounds like this is the work of Chinese state-sponsored cyber crminals.
