Wait!
You rebuilt that Linksys firmware?
Did you reset it completely first?
I suggest you were pwnd. (Like a great many of us are!)
I have the pond scum get into my stuff regularly and endure them until
I get around to flushing them rebuilding.
One or two I cooperate to trap, track, report, and jail (with NSA and
local authorities, via coordination with telecom/cable; companies that
investigate like google, godaddy, and banks).
Other sick stalker types, I endure (because they are really young) [for awhile].
I suggest you get that image and use a binary hex editor to determine
where it's going and what is on it?
Call me I will help!
