Routers sound like the bigger target to me. Take over the NAT/Firewall and you can use it to exploit every machine behind it.


Which is why everyone should still be running a firewall on their machines and stop relying completely on the router. It seems way to many people (and companies) rely on a single point of defense. This is especially true of any machines that may be connecting to public networks and home networks where you might let you're friends use wifi.
