Attacks on Linksys Routers Trigger Mass Password Reset

Linksys router users were targeted in a cyberattack that changed router settings, redirected requests for specific webpages and domains to malicious Coronavirus-themed landing pages that were booby-trapped with malware. At least 1,200 Linksys Smart Wi-Fi accounts were compromised via what is believed to be credential-stuffing attacks, according to Linksys. The attack began on March 18, peaking March 23, researchers said. The attacks redirected requests to many domains, including Disney.com, RedditBlog.com and Amazon.com.
