Russian hackers exploiting vulnerable internet Routers

In a joint cybersecurity advisory released Monday, the NSA, FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and nearly 20 allied cybersecurity agencies said cyber actors linked to Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB, have spent years exploiting vulnerable or poorly configured networking devices to gain access to sensitive networks. The advisory said organizations in the financial services, energy, communications, healthcare, government and defense industrial base sectors have been affected.Rather than launching disruptive attacks immediately, the hackers often scan the internet looking for outdated or improperly secured routers, then quietly copy device configuration files that can contain administrator credentials, network layouts and other information useful for gaining deeper access into an organization’s systems, according to the advisory.
