TP-Link Router Woes: CISA Sounds Alarm on Exploited Vulnerability from the Past
The US cybersecurity agency CISA warns that hackers are targeting a two-year-old vulnerability in discontinued TP-Link routers. Tracked as CVE-2023-33538, this bug lets cybercriminals play puppet master with your router. If your TP-Link is old enough to vote, it might be time to upgrade.
Hot Take:
Looks like some old TP-Link routers are causing more drama than a reality TV show! Who would’ve thought that vintage tech could be the new cybercriminal playground? Maybe it’s time to let those routers retire in peace and upgrade to something less… vulnerable. Plus, Apple’s got a bug that feels like a plot twist straight out of a spy movie. Looks like cybersecurity is the new wild west!
Key Points:
- TP-Link routers with a vulnerability from 2021 are being targeted by hackers.
- Vulnerable models include TL-WR940N, TL-WR841N, and TL-WR740N.
- Proof-of-concept exploit code for the vulnerability was briefly available on GitHub.
- CISA urges the discontinuation of these routers as they are unsupported.
- An iCloud vulnerability is also being actively exploited, impacting Apple products.
