600,000 routers 'bricked' over 72-hours

You could stop your ISP updating firmware until you are sure its safe.

Pfsense is good if you're into BSD. I never use the ISP Wifi router functionality, only as a modem. If you like pfsense you might also like OpenWRT which is Linux based and quite actively developing. Prior to that I ran LEDE and DD-WRT. I also had a homebrew Devian box running ages ago but it's a lot more maintenance that way.

It should be criminal for these cheap router companies to fail to release security patches.
