"Malware Botnet Exploits QNAP VioStor NVR Vulnerability"
A botnet named 'InfectedSlurs' is actively exploiting a remote code execution vulnerability in QNAP VioStor NVR devices, using them for DDoS attacks. The botnet was discovered by Akamai's Security Intelligence Response Team, who observed the exploitation of two zero-day vulnerabilities in routers and NVR devices. The first vulnerability affects FXC AE1021 and AE1021PE WiFi routers, while the second vulnerability impacts QNAP VioStor NVR models running QVR firmware 4.x. QNAP has released security updates and recommends users update their firmware and change passwords. Legacy VioStor NVR models that have reached end-of-life will not receive security updates and should be replaced.
