Oh, so that wasn't just me! I also disabled isp management and automatic upgrades, but it was still upgraded. That was the update where they removed telnet access. When I called them, they claimed not to know of anything, so I assume it was AVM that pushed it. Probably the same thing would have happened if it would not be isp-issued.


but telnet access is only a dect call away on avm routers?!?


Been disabled for years, iirc for modern FritzBoxes there is nearly no way any more for jailbreaking.

Makes sense though as many phishing attacks went through that avenue. A pity that when one as a vendor gives the ability of lowlevel access to appliances installed in homes, evil people will exploit it in a heartbeat...
