Don’t Be A Puppet: How Your Router Could Join a Botnet
An intern at the SANS Internet Storm Center uncovers a router vulnerability being exploited by hackers to create botnets. If you’re using a TP-Link Archer router, you might want to check your firmware version. Don’t let your device be another puppet in a botnet show!
Hot Take:
So, you thought you were safe because you hid behind your router? Well, think again! Our dear intern Jonah at SANS Internet Storm Center has been playing Sherlock with his honeypot and guess what he found? A nasty vulnerability (CVE-2023-1389) that's been exploited by the baddies to add devices to their botnets - a sneaky, virtual equivalent of Pinocchio's puppeteer. Serves as a stark reminder that you're only as strong as your weakest link, or in this case, your weakest TP-Link Archer router.Already a member? Log in here
