Two vulnerabilities affecting over one million routers, disclosed earlier this week, are now under attack by botnet herders. The attacks started yesterday, Thursday, May 3, according to Netlab, the network security division of Chinese cyber-security vendor Qihoo 360. Researchers said they’ve identified one botnet operating from a command-and-control server located in Vietnam that is currently scanning and attempting to exploit these devices. These vulnerabilities affect GPON-capable routers manufactured by South Korean vendor Dasan.
