Six million Sky routers exposed to takeover attacks for 17 months

Around six million Sky Broadband customer routers in the UK were affected by a critical vulnerability that took over 17 months to roll out a fix to customers. The disclosed vulnerability is a DNS rebinding flaw that threat actors could easily exploit if the user had not changed the default admin password, or a threat actor could brute-force the credentials. The result of the exploitation would be to compromise the customer’s home network, change the router’s configuration, and potentially pivot to other internal devices. Sky eventually revised the plan, promising to fix 50% of affected models, which was never fulfilled.”]
