What Malware Is on Your Router?

Yesterday we learned that just shy of a million Deutsche Telekom subscribers had been taken offline after their routers were infected by Mirai. Today’s news is that the attack has spread to include routers in the UK, Brazil, Iran, Thailand and elsewhere. So far they’re only attacking routers made by Zyxel, taking advantage of a SOAP vulnerability, but there will be other vulnerabilities to exploit in other routers — and webcams, cameras, thermostats, baby monitors, and ironically, home security devices.
