Arris modems, routers, and gateways distributed by AT&Ts U-verse service are affected by easy to exploit vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities have been reported by researchers at security consultancy Nomotion. The support interfaces are easily accessible over SSH and remote and local attackers could exploit hidden services to hack into the devices. The flaws could be exploited by hackers to recruit affected devices in a botnet that can power several illegal activities.Fortunately, the researchers estimate that only 15,000 hosts are vulnerable.”]
