Russian Hackers Target UK Routers

Intelligence sources indicate that thousands of devices have already been compromised, allowing attackers to redirect internet traffic to malicious servers.

Once a router is infected, hackers can monitor unencrypted data and gain access to private corporate networks.

The NCSC has urged citizens to update their router firmware and change default administrative passwords immediately.

This campaign is part of a broader surge in Russian cyber activity targeting Western infrastructure amid heightened geopolitical tensions.
