Russian hackers target wifi routers

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) reported that thousands of commonly sold routers have been compromised in over 120 countries.

The hackers, linked to the GRU unit known as 'Fancy Bear,' exploit vulnerable devices to steal credentials and monitor internet traffic.

Experts are urging the public to update their router firmware and check for unusual activity.

This large-scale operation highlights the ongoing cyber threat posed by state-sponsored actors.

The hijacked devices are being used to build a massive infrastructure for further attacks on government and military targets.
