New Trojan viruses for Linux system Routers

Users who use a Linux system router need to be careful now, because a new Trojan virus exists for a Linux system router, which can gain control over the router.

According to reports on the website vnunet.com, the trojan virus named "psyb0t" was first discovered by researchers at dronebl, and it is likely that it began to spread at the beginning of the year.

This trojan virus can crack the password of a Linux system Router Based on the MIPs chip. According to dronebl, at least 0.1 million routers have been infected.

If the password set by the user is not highly secure, or the factory settings remain unchanged, the trojan will be able to be accessed. Dronebl recommends that you set the vro password as complex as possible.

After the trojan virus is infected, the controller can gain full control over the vro through the IRC channel and intercept user name and password information. In addition, the Trojan can also prevent the router from performing firmware upgrade.
