•Thousands of hacked TP-Link routers used in years-long account takeover attacks
77% Informative
Hackers are using a botnet of thousands of routers, cameras, and other Internet-connected devices to perform password spray attacks, Microsoft says.
The malicious network, made up almost entirely of TP-Link routers, was first documented in October 2023 by a researcher who named it Botnet-7777 .
Microsoft says the attacks are “highly evasive” because the botnet takes pains to conceal the malicious activity.
