Internet vigilante claims he patched over 100,000 MikroTik routers already.
This might be the most Chaotic Good thing I’ve ever seen.
Chaos isn’t always evil.
Oh wow I don’t even remember this character’s name. That’s how forgettable GoT was after the season 8 debacle.

Pretty decent thing to do. When I was a website developer, around 2012 I dealt with a mentally unstable friend/client who one day started seeing porn ads on a blog that he asked me to fix up on behalf of someone else. He freaked out “NICK CAN’T SEE THAT, OMG”. I looked at the site on 4 different devices from 3 IP addresses and didn’t see what he was talking about. Since it was my job to figure this out, I asked some people we knew on a forum “will you please look at this site and let me know if you see any porn ads?” 25 people responded that no, they did not. Okay. So I told him, hey, I had everyone on our forum check it out and it’s fine, so it has to be a virus on your computer or something. He got super angry and told me it was VERY embarrassing to him that I did that (like, wtf was I supposed to do?). Eventually someone figured out he had a hacked router.
I worked with a client where their router got hacked, but the site manager insisted that it wasn’t, because he had an “unhackable” Macbook. Like, no, buddy. No. Every Windows 98 client, the Windows NT 4.0 server, and your router are totally, totally hacked, and pointing to Chinese DNS. “UHHH NOOO?? IT’s a MAAAAAC! Hello? Anyone in there, Windows guy? I HAVE A MACBOOK!” With a patronizing chuckle. Then he mocked deaf people accents to re-explain, I guess, to make the point I was retarded.
Thankfully, his boss fired him on the spot. This was the THIRD time I was sent out there to wipe and reinstall, and my attendance of his firing was a mere formality. He was being hacked by an open Apple AirPort Base Station with no password or encryption that was inside the network, and refused to believe it because it was an Apple product. His boss understood, though.
Note: this is not meant to mock or deride any Apple product or fans thereof. Just this specific dweeb.

This doesn’t even seem like it’d be that hard to do. Might be a fun side project
If you scripted it, sure. But it would suck writing that script.
Fun side project getting arrested for helping people lol.
If you’re bad at it sure. But if you’re bad at it you wouldn’t try it in the first place
lol, reminds me of when I was at some random hotel in China and their router was clearly infested with malware that kept redirecting websites to random scammy websites. I guessed the router IP and used the default password for the router (probably why they got compromised) to update and patch it.
This person did it on a global scale
