I managed to "bypass" that ban by changing my router to Jolla instead of our default one (I'm using wlan to browse the internet with my computer), and now I'm even more concerned as our default router in our household has a default password that's mentioned in that topic....

So now I'm wondering if it's just the router that's affected or are the computers too? It has to be malware, right? I'm wondering how vigorously should I react to this problem now...

I'm not much of a geek so some advice would be appreciated, thanks.
default password is worrying, but unless you have static IP address (in my country most providers go with dynamic renewed every 24h) the ban could be just an IP ban on some troll from May and a coincidence (routers should not be shellshocked as most will have busybox, but default password, yeah)
