no good. beyond using a VPN and dnssec, how can end users protect themselves from this?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago

Probably make sure you have your own firewall on your private network, and if anything is exposed to the internet, make sure it's locked down as tight as you can. For the record, very few people outside of professionals and enthusiasts are running Cisco equipment in their homes.

Against this specifically?

  • Don't ever expose your firewall/router management access to the Internet.
  • Install firmware updates asap.
  • Don't be a an attractive target for nation-state hackers.

Additionally, ensure that you are following best practices for your own data by enabling MFA wherever you can and dont re-use passwords for any service.
