Dear Air.Wreck.MSP,

You overlook the fact that the majority of Comcast and Verizon subscribers lease their (Actiontec for Verizon, Cisco or Netgear for Comcast) routers from the company. In a ploy to make customers pay more, they have a policy of not patching their routers, save for the latest router(s) offered. Well over 85% of Verizon routers in use today are vulnerable to the KRACK exploit and Verizon stated flat out that they will not push out the patch, despite the fact that Actiontec has released a patch to them. This is the sorry state of affairs that the American marketplace is, no accountability for companies to play fast and loose the welfare of their customers, regardless of the impact it may have on their own network. That's why I always find it comical that Verizon heads a yearly security summit, but yet has the worst security in the industry.
