BroadbandReports is reporting today ([My DLink Router Is Spamming Me](http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/My-DLink-Router-Is-Spamming-Me-98909)) that the latest firmware update for some D-Link routers will hijack search screens every 8 hours and try to sell users a security subscription. BBR is usually ahead of the curve on news like this because of the crowdsourcing power of the its tech-savvy and massive readership. Karl Bode of BBR opines, "This kind of spam from a piece of purchased hardware should be opt-in, or better yet, not exist at all. I've got a sneaking suspicion that DLink will learn this the hard way by this time next week."
