On: Port scanning /0 using insecure embedded devices

"We had no interest to interfere with default device operation" ... "After a reboot" ...

How does rebooting someone's computer not count as 'interfering'? Let's hope none of those machines were doing anything important.

They didn't say they rebooted any devices. They said that they didn't make the binary persist through reboots. They probably installed their binary in /tmp/ or similar which would get wiped if the device happened to reboot.

[joosters → zerd]

That's unclear. From their use of the past tense, it certainly implies that the machines had been rebooted.
