Merlin firmware and Cyclops Blink Sticky Botnet Exploit

[msav]

Hey all,

new to this forum. Joined because I have a question. Does the Merlin firmware have the same issue with the Cyclops Blink Sticky Botnet Exploit that the Stock Asus firmware does.

I should probably update to the latest Merlin firmware anyways, but everything it working and I don't want to mess it up.

Just want to know if I should get this upgraded sooner than later.

Thank you

“Cyclops” is a very unique word for people (not just this OP) to search for before posting a redundant thread.

Yes, Sorry

was looking for information specific to the Merlin firmware. Did not see it under the Merlin sub forum.

Thank you for pointing me toward the desired information.
