Hackers linked to the Russian state have compromised commonly used wifi routers and are using them to harvest data. By hijacking the system used to type in web addresses, the group can divert users to disguised malicious websites and trick them into giving away information like passwords. That means users could find themselves on a fake version of a site such as Microsoft Outlook without realising it – and obliviously hand over everything they type to the hackers.The centre warned that Fancy Bear was ‘casting a wide net’ to capture as many victims as possible. do you think that the only way to prevent hacking is the global internet to work in harmony ?
