Cyberattack Bricks 600,000 US Routers in 72 Hours
A cyberattack last year disabled over 600,000 internet routers across several Midwest states, with new research identifying the malware as "Chalubo." The attack targeted ActionTec routers, and the affected ISP is believed to be Windstream. The incident was not disclosed at the time, and the exact method of the attack remains unclear. Black Lotus Labs recommends securing management devices and avoiding basic security weaknesses.
