I just found out this news is trending on Hacker News : Whistleblower: Ubiquiti Breach “Catastrophic”, the link to the hacker news entry is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26638145.
It seems that many users are mentioning OpenWRT in the thread, good news for OpenWRT 
.
Where's the reddit thread? You only linked the Krebs article.
I've found a few Reddit threads linking to that article, but most have 0 results when searching comments for any reference to OpenWRT. So far I've only seen OpenWRT mentioned twice, out of four Reddit threads on this subject in a few different subreddits.
You're right, sorry, I got confused, it's Hacker News (new.ycombinator.com):

PS: I have edited and corrected the initial post. Thanks.
