D-Link’s VPN Router Meltdown: Why Ignoring End-of-Life Warnings Could Be a Risky Business
D-Link urges customers to retire their beloved end-of-life VPN routers after a remote code execution vulnerability was found. The flaw, impacting DSR-150, DSR-150N, DSR-250, and DSR-250N models, won’t be patched. Customers are advised to upgrade or risk turning their office into a hacker’s paradise.
Hot Take:
Looks like D-Link’s new motto is “Out with the old, and… well, just out with the old!” It’s like they’ve declared a router retirement party, but forgot to invite the security updates. So, unless you want to be the unsuspecting star of a hacker’s next reality show, it might be time to RSVP with a new router.
Key Points:
- Critical remote code execution vulnerability discovered in certain D-Link VPN routers.
- Impacted models have reached end-of-life with no security updates forthcoming.
- D-Link recommends replacing affected routers immediately.
- Even the latest firmware version won’t protect against this flaw.
- Using third-party firmware voids any remaining warranty.
