Vault7: CIA planting “listening”” firmware in WiFi routers”

Documents in WikiLeaks Vault7 series reveal that at least 25 WiFi router and access point models are susceptible to implants that enable the CIA to turn them into surveillance posts. The implant, code-named CherryBlossom, can easily make its way onto routers from Linksys, DLink, Belkin and others as a legitimate firmware update, wirelessly. Models not inherently vulnerable can still be implanted with the surveillance software if poorly secured i.e. with an easy-to-guess password.”]
