Is your router secretly working for foreign intelligence? www.kaspersky.com/blog/save…

Why advanced attackers are interested in your home Wi-Fi access points, and how they maintain control over your devices.

A recently disclosed breach of thousands of ASUS home routers goes to show that your home Wi-Fi access point isn’t just useful to you (and possibly your neighbors) — it’s also coveted by cybercriminals and even state-sponsored hackers carrying out targeted espionage attacks. This new attack, presumably linked to the infamous APT31 group, is still ongoing. What makes it especially dangerous is its stealthy nature and the unconventional approach required to defend against it. That’s why it’s crucial to understand why malicious actors target routers — and how to protect yourself from these hacker tricks.
