Ciscos Talos Intelligence Group publicly exposed a new malware threat they dubbed VPNFilter. VPNFilter is a sophisticated modular malware system targeting networking equipment all over the world. This malware allowed for theft of website credentials, collection of data, injection of malicious content into network traffic as it passes through an infected device, and destruction of the infected device. The threat of a destructive attack timed with any of these events forced Talos to release all of the information they currently had on the malware to the public, in coordination with law enforcement.”]
