Just a month after the FCC banned foreign consumer-grade routers that lack the special permissions to be sold, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), along with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK) and other security orgs, has advised users of their risks. Compromised home routers, it seems, are the new cybersecurity bugbears.
This is because, as CISA puts it: "Over the past few years there has been a major shift in the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by China-nexus cyber actors, moving away from the use of individually procured infrastructure, and towards the use of externally provisioned, large-scale networks of compromised devices."
