Re: Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

At least in DOCSIS systems, the file generated to control network speeds in the modem itself is usually obtained from an entirely different server at the headend. This server is usually *very* secure and not easily broken into by outsiders. This company is either using their own proprietary system or has very lax security. Since the same thing happened to them months ago, they obviously still haven't learned their lesson.
