Can we have some evidence of this please?

Any routers firmware can be hacked but if theres a serious issue with the
DLink im sure theres people who need to know about it.
On the other hand the current version of Firmware has been current for
some time and ive not seen any security issues come up through various
forums.
Details, please! This is a serious allegation and some facts to back it
up can only help us out.
Mark.
