VPNFilter malware problem
What is the protocol to defend against this malware?
I am only using the HN modem HT2000W. Attached 3 laptops & a printer.
Thanx

The HT2000W modem isn't affected by VPNFilter. It's not susceptible to infection by this malware.

Who are you? Are you a Hughes tech? Cnet is now advising not only a reboot but a factory reset. This is a pain in the butt since you have to reconfigure your network but it is worth it if this really protects you. Are you confident in your advise and what are your qualifications? Thanks but I like to be carefull. BR

This issue isn't so much the modem (actually the router) itself, but the network is behind a double NAT and the public IP isn't accessible from anyone outside of the HughesNet system. There's no way for anyone to get to it.
