Cisco's Linksys E2700, E3500, E4500 devices have been reported to be remotely updated to a firmware version that forces users to register for a cloud service, allows Cisco to monitor their network use and ultimately shut down the cloud [[service account]] and thus render the affected router unusable.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cisco Pushing 'Cloud Connect' Router Firmware, Allows Web History Tracking|date=June 29, 2012 |url=http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/06/29/1425210/cisco-pushing-cloud-connect-router-firmware-allows-web-history-tracking|publisher=Slashdot|access-date=December 26, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Cisco's cloud vision: Mandatory, monetized and killed at their discretion|newspaper=Extremetech |date=July 2, 2012 |url=http://www.extremetech.com/computing/132142-ciscos-cloud-vision-mandatory-monetized-and-killed-at-their-discretion|publisher=Extreme Tech|access-date=December 26, 2013|last1=Hruska |first1=Joel }}</ref>
