Since yesterday, users of Ubiquiti networking devices, ranging from routers to security cameras, have reported seeing other people's devices and notifications through the company's UniFi cloud services. Ubiquiti is a popular networking device manufacturer offering a cloud-based UniFi platform where admins can manage all their devices from a single cloud portal.
The Chinese state-sponsored APT hacking group known as Volt Typhoon has been linked to a sophisticated botnet named 'KV-botnet' since at least 2022 to attack SOHO routers in high-value targets. Volt Typhoon commonly targets routers, firewalls, and VPN devices to proxy malicious traffic so it blends with legitimate traffic to remain undetected.
Connect and protect your whole team with this mini router that offers 10,000 sq ft coverage and a built-in VPN for the low price of $599.99. The Mini by Routie is probably the easiest way to set up a guest network.

Forescout detailed the discovery of 21 new vulnerabilities in OT/IoT routers and open-source software elements. The "SIERRA:21 - Living on the Edge" report features research into Sierra Wireless AirLink cellular routers and some open-source components, such as TinyXML and OpenNDS. Sierra Wireless routers are popular - an open database of Wi-Fi networks shows 245,000 networks worldwide running Sierra Wireless for various applications.
A set of 21 newly discovered vulnerabilities impact Sierra OT/IoT routers and threaten critical infrastructure with remote code execution, unauthorized access, cross-site scripting, authentication bypass, and denial of service attacks. The flaws discovered by Forescout Vedere Labs affect Sierra Wireless AirLink cellular routers and open-source components like TinyXML and OpenNDS. AirLink routers are highly regarded in the field of industrial and mission-critical applications due to high-performance 3G/4G/5G and WiFi and multi-network connectivity.
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new variant of an emerging botnet called P2PInfect that's capable of targeting routers and IoT devices. The latest version, per Cado Security Labs, is...
An active malware campaign is leveraging two zero-day vulnerabilities with remote code execution (RCE) functionality to rope routers and video recorders into a Mirai-based distributed...
Akamai has uncovered two zero-day bugs capable of remote code execution, both being exploited to distribute the Mirai malware and built a botnet army for distributed denial of service attacks. Because the security holes aren't plugged yet, Akamai's Security Intelligence Response Team did not name the brands or the affected devices.
A new Mirai-based malware botnet named 'InfectedSlurs' has been exploiting two zero-day remote code execution vulnerabilities to infect routers and video recorder devices. The malware hijacks the devices to make them part of its DDoS swarm, presumably rented for profit.
