YoKenny Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Malware Attacking Your Router WinPatrol was one of the first to detect malware based on ?behavior? of program and continues to follow that model. One behavior we?ve seen a lot of lately is very scary. Instead of installing malware that continues to run like a key logger or trojan, malicious programs are increasingly attacking the network router which is common with any internet connected home and/or office. An unwanted program can quickly make a change to your router settings that will immediately open all your computers to the world. The bad guys won?t have to install a key logger, they?ll be able to record every byte that goes across your network. It?s happening now to thousands of routers which are still using their default name and password. http://billpstudios.blogspot.com/2008/06/m...our-router.html "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
