The FBI recently dismantled a massive Chinese botnet that went undetected for years. The group focused on infecting routers and other IoT devices such as storage, IP cameras and others. These types of systems often fly under the radar for IT administrators, only being reviewed or worked on if there is an issue. Which often means default passwords are not changed, and the systems are not patched regularly. It is vitally important to ensure we take the same care over these devices as we would any IT systems in our environment. Change default passwords, use good network segmentation, and patch regularly. https://lnkd.in/gxwGc2Jk
