We've gotten a lot of questions about the VPNFilter Malware since it was announced by the FBI. Here's what you need to know.
1. It's real. - This is no hoax...VPNFilter malware has definitely infected thousands of routers, and the FBI reports are legit.
2. You're probably not affected. - There are only a handful of router models that are known to be vulnerable to this exploit....here's the list:
Linksys: E1200, E2500, WRVS4400N
Mikrotik: 1016, 1036, 1072
Netgear: DGN2200, R6400, R7000, R8000, WNR1000, WNR2000
QNAP: TS251, S439 Pro, other QNAP NAS devices running QTS software
TP-Link: R600VPN
3. If you have one of these routers, you need to take action. - The router should be factory-reset, and upgraded to the latest version of its firmware.
4. Everybody should take a moment to consider the security of their home and business networks. - How many of us are using routers with no security enabled, or factory-default passwords? It's time for everyone to up their game a little. No sense making it easy for the bad guys.
5. We're here to help. - For the most part, you can effect the necessary changes on your own. If you prefer to have us take care of it, however, we're always glad to help, and happy to have your business.
