Malware attacks using a new strain called RouteX are targeting Netgear routers running older or unpatched firmware. RouteX malware leverages a flaw identified as CVE-2016-10176, which impacts the web server included with Netgear WNR routers. The routers are being used for credential stuffing attacks, which occur when cybercriminals take username/password data from publicly leaked breaches and attempt to breach multiple online services. By using proxies on compromised routers, attackers can cycle through new IPs and avoid brute-force detection systems.”]
