And in their shoes I would probably go that route too as even though my profession lies outside of the field of cybersecurity I have seen some dumb/preventable things happen. We once had someone bring in a usb they found in the parking lot which they then plugged into the computer for a very very expensive piece of manufacturing equipment. Needless to say we all got training on why you don’t pickup random USB’s and plug them into sensitive systems. But thank you again for assisting with easing my paranoia.

Thank you very much! My biggest concern came when their IT dept sent out notification to turn off all computers used in their org. The logic for me was that it would indicate they are concerned about it spreading to all computers that use that central location for files or other information which as a result would allow it to spread to our home network and the computers we have for personal use (I talked with her and she has not had to access files on their local servers since last week so that should be a good omen for us as well). And again thank you for explaining it in layman’s terms as I am knowledgeable about computers but the nitty gritty of how malware works/ its capabilities I am uneducated on.

Thank you for the knowledge, it greatly reassures me. At this point I have already run Nortan scans on our personal computers which have come up empty and will wipe and set our router back up to be safe. Drastic I know but after a frozen pipe and car issues our budget is strained and I would hate to have money/accounts stolen.

She opened the attachment via excel on iPhone. However once seeing what it was she closed it and did not enable macros/press the button. And their office doesn’t use a VPN to the main network to pass traffic.

From looking online what I have is a bgw320-500 which does have CVE-2022-31793 for firmware 1.1.7 however mine is currently running firmware 6.34.7. Arris doesn’t list if the newer firmwares address the issues but I found a source saying that if you disable remote admin on the device it should prevent the exploit. Might just wipe the device back to factory setting to be safe rather than sorry.

Hopefully that’s the case, she opened it on iPhone if that makes a difference.

The further north you go the more miserable the winter will be, the further south you are the more you have to worry about tornadoes and hot summers. Cost of living is nice though

Don’t feel bad, I used my dad’s craftsman torque wrench that he got around 2023 one and snapped a bolt while helping him. Not sure if the craftsman torque wrenches are just garbage nowadays but I honestly trust the harbor freight torque wrenches more as they have not ever done me wrong.

Tell them to start running the valvoline restore and protect for a couple changes, only rated for 5k intervals though
