So a recent malware release has effected many ASUS RT routers and I have asked ASUS if the DSL-AX82U is impacted and when a security fix might be available for the DSL-AX82U.
ASUS said the DSL-AX82U is impacted and are working on a fix.
To reduce the exposure to this new ASUS router malware, until a fix has been released, ASUS have said to me, best to ….
- turn of AiCloud,
- disable WAN remote access etc.
- and also re-configure a strong, lengthy password.
This should help until a fix is released and change-log will look similar to below:
1. Strengthened input validation and data processing workflows to further protect information security.
2. Enhanced AiCloud password protection mechanisms, safeguarding against unauthorized access attempts.
3. Enhanced device security through improved buffer handling in connection features.
4. Refined data handling processes, ensuring secure and accurate information management.
5. Enhanced file access control mechanisms, promoting a more secure operating environment.
6. Strengthened certificate protection, providing enhanced data security.
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
Out of interest, does the malware only affect Asus modem routers or other routers like my RT-AX86U for example and S?
Thanks
