so, i was running a security scan on devices connected to my home router, and i found one that i didn't recognize. i looked it up, and as far as i can tell it's a company based in south korea with a building and street address and everything. but why is it connected to my LAN? i went on comcast's forums to find out. turns out DOZENS of people have found this company connected to their router, all provided by comcast, and when they call comcast to ask what it is? they don't get any answers. they are just told not to worry about it. imo, that's shady as heck y'all.

That is weird, can you not like block it or anything? I'd be worried because can't they view internet stuff that you do if they are connected?

I'd be worried because can't they view internet stuff that you do if they are connected? i can try i think, but i'm not sure how i am pretty worried, but the thing is, i don't buy things online, well, anywhere but on my phone, so i don't really have any 'sensitive personal info' i want to protect edit: plus, i have a monitor on my icloud account/itunes for suspicious activity so
