New Botnet Targets Routers, Dumb People First to really take aim at Linux-embedded devices... Tuesday Mar 24 2009 13:20 EDT A new bit of nasty code named " psyb0t," is getting a lot of attention today for being the first botnet malware designed for Linux-embedded broadband equipment and routers. It's unfortunately not the first to target dumb users -- since it takes aim at routers (with SSH or telnet open on the WAN end) where the default username and password has not yet been changed, or was changed to something too simple. The SANS Internet Storm Center has some additional detail, as do the users in both our security and Linksys forums. |
