Here’s the thing I don’t get… You have X provider supplying routers with vulnerable firmware that have remote support (TR-069) enabled. Why would Check Point not at least name and shame, instead of trying to market their security? I know the hack is old, but grandma isn’t probably up to date on the latest firmware that should have been upgrade through TR-069. I’m honestly more upset with the reporting than the normal residential cpe didn’t get upgraded. But yeah, Happy Holidays everyone... Sincerely, Eric Tykwinski TrueNet, Inc.

While the flaw is 12 years old and the fix 9, the article suggests that firmware for consumer routers may yet be being built with the vulnerable webserver code baked in.
If you are responsible for lots of eyeballs you might want to look at this.
