D-link devices take down internet time servers

D-Link has been accused of harming the net's ability to tell the time accurately.

Actually, D-Link has a list of the net's time servers written into the software that keeps the devices running. These D-Link routers, switches and wireless access points are bombarding some net time servers with huge amounts of data.

The next time you loose an eBay auction, you know who to blame.

Already D-Link has removed from its website, updates to the software that keeps its hardware running that contains the time server list.
