Russian Hackers Exploit Home Routers Across 23 U.S. States, Prompting Security Measures

Russian Hackers Exploit Home Routers Across 23 U.S. States, Prompting Security Measures

A unit of Russia's military intelligence agency, known as APT28, has been exploiting vulnerabilities in home routers across 23 U.S. states. The group, responsible for previous high-profile cyberattacks, used unpatched firmware and default passwords to compromise thousands of devices, redirecting internet traffic through Russian-controlled servers. This operation, identified as a Domain Name System hijacking, allowed the hackers to intercept and harvest user credentials. Federal agents disrupted the operation in April, but the underlying vulnerabilities remain. Government agencies are urging users to update router firmware and change default login credentials to protect against future attacks.
