Wow, someone deployed malware in October of 2023 which bricked 600,000 Internet routers -- owned by a SINGLE ISP.
"over 600,000 small office/home office (SOHO) routers were taken offline belonging to a single internet service provider (ISP). The incident took place over a 72-hour period between October 25-27, rendered the infected devices permanently inoperable, and required a hardware-based replacement."
