[PSA] Asus Router Owner: You’ve Been Hacked
I know this has nothing to do with 
, our O.Sports/ASXs/RVRs, or even EVOs..
But, I felt it was prudent to let you guys know >
If you own an Asus Router Models : RT-AC66R, RT-AC66U, RT-N66R, RT-N66U, RT-AC56U, RT-N56R, RT-N56U, RT-N14U, RT-N16, and RT-N16R.
Your External HD drive and/or USB attached storage may have already been compromised. Especially if you store your Banking, Tax, or other financial files on those kind of drives as Backup...
>>> It doesn't matter if those drive(s) were set to "share" (internally) or not; nor if it was assigned to AiCloud (Asus's Cloud Solution) or not. Your private Data is vulnerable.
Just a friendly heads up.

Security researchers have discovered a flaw in the firmware of some Linksys routers that could allow a hacker to gain control remotely, possibly turning a group of infected routers into a botnet.

It's been a little difficult to catch every hacker news feed that's popped up the past day or two. (me too tired)
Thanks for sharing, Burton!

Hack Summary >
The vulnerability has been exploited by malware dubbed TheMoon...
Linksys routers have the ability to be managed remotely via a Web page or a smartphone app. The flaw involves a one or more scripts used in this process. Once the malware is installed, it tells the router to begin looking for others to infect in the same way. The malware also appears to contain code that may have it looking for a command and control server that would tell it what to do.
The following models are listed: E4200, E3200, E3000, E2500, E2100L, E2000, E1550, E1500, E1200, E1000, E900, E300, WAG320N, WAP300N, WAP610N, WES610N, WET610N, WRT610N, WRT600N, WRT400N, WRT320N, WRT160N and WRT150N. However, Rew notes that the list might not be accurate or complete.
