Cymru Discovers 300,000 Compromised Home Routers
Router vulnerabilities have been much in the news recently, including the discovery of the Moon worm. The problem stems from poor security from the suppliers, and security naivety from the average home router user. Team Cymru suggests that multiple exploits may have been used by the attackers: a "ROM-0" vulnerability published in January, a CSRF vulnerability published in October 2013, and simply brute-forcing passwords (some unchanged from the delivery default password) via the internet.
