FBI Sounds Alarm on Rogue Cybercrime Services Targeting Obsolete Routers

Edge devices have become prime targets for cyber threat actors, particularly routers that are no longer receiving security updates and patches, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation.

The FBI recently published a report sharing new findings about threat actors exploiting known vulnerabilities to compromise obsolete routers, also dubbed as end-of-life (EOL) routers in the cyber community.

This specific campaign is associated with Anyproxy and 5Socks, well-known proxy services used by cybercriminals.

The domains of both proxy services appear to have been seized by law enforcement.
