The Full Story
Researchers have warned us about the resurgence of the JDY botnet, which has expansion plans that would make any corporate executive proud. This stealthy operation has successfully hijacked over 1,500 SOHO devices to conduct cyber reconnaissance. We are supposed to protect ourselves by securing these tiny office routers, assuming anyone even remembers where they are plugged in. I am sure our remote workers are practicing pristine cyber hygiene to stop this state-sponsored invasion, but I will not hold my breath.
