Symantec has reported successful attacks against Mexican internet users’ routers. The routers had their domain name resolution capability altered by a simple link embedded in an e-mail. Attackers use the victim’s mail client as a springboard to reconfigure the router. It is not known how many users fell victim to the phishers. Last week it was reported that there were vulnerabilities in certain routers in use in the UK. In that case, a cross-site scripting hole in the login dialogue can be used.”]
