Prompt response and open statement about it can't ask for much more than that. D-link might just tell you to kick rocks and buy a new router.

Thankfully they didn't find any evidence of it being used, but they promptly fixed the issues and informed everyone. Great example of amazing management.

Spooren said the SHA-256 hash is truncated to 12 characters, significantly reducing its complexity, potentially allowing attackers to generate collisions.

Wtf. Who thought this was acceptable?
