您可能会在您的网络设备列表中看到名为Austin-Amazon KFAUWI的设备。由于在检查KFAUWI Properties 的 Austin-Amazon 时(Austin- Amazon of KFAUWI Properties)，它没有提供任何重要信息，因此情况变得更糟。它只显示制造商名称(Manufacturer name)( Amazon ) 和型号名称(Model name)( KFAUWI )，而所有其他条目（序列号、唯一标识符以及 Mac 和 IP 地址）显示为不可用(other entries (Serial Number, Unique identifier, and the Mac & IP address) read unavailable)。因此，您可能认为您的 PC 已被黑客入侵。
什么是 KFAUWI 的 Austin-Amazon？(What is Austin-Amazon of KFAUWI?)
- 首先，从名称本身就可以看出，网络设备(network device)与亚马逊(Amazon)及其广泛的设备有关，如Kindle、Fire等，而Austin是这些设备中使用的主板的名称。(name of the motherboard)
- 最后，KFAUWI 是开发人员使用的基于 LINUX 的 PC( LINUX-based PC)，用于设备检测(device detection)等。对KFAUWI(KFAUWI)一词的快速搜索还显示，它与(associated with the Amazon Fire 7 tablet)2017 年发布的 Amazon Fire 7 平板电脑有关。
为什么 KFAUWI 的 Austin-Amazon 在网络设备中上市？(Why is Austin-Amazon of KFAUWI Listed in Network Devices? )
