Telus WiFi Hubs listed as targets of attack
From this article: https://therecord.media/routers-and-modems-running-arcadyan-firmware-are-under-attack/ "...once exploited, the vulnerability can be used to bypass authentication procedures on affected routers and modems to enable the Telnet service and allow threat actors to connect to devices remotely. While Grant has not tested his proof-of-concept exploit for other devices, and the exploit might not work out of the box for all, the chances are that it does. While still unconfirmed, owners of any of the affected devices listed in the table above are advised to inquire their router vendor for security patches. Juniper said it identified the threat actor behind these attacks as a notorious botnet herder operating a version of the Mirai malware."Solved3.5KViews0likes1CommentRe: OpenDNS for Telus WiFi Hub Arcadyan
Anyone know if Telus redirects all Port 53 traffic to their own servers? It sounds like that's what is happening. If so, do some research on installing dnssec and dnscrypt on your local device(s) to solve it. For example, a firewalled filtering box called a pi-hole does that sort of thing. Thanks for the heads up and I hope you find a solution you can share here.3.3KViews0likes0Comments
