All users of Linksys Smart Wi-Fi accounts had their passwords at that site reset 2-Apr-2020. Linksys found a large amount of traffic using a suspected credential stuffing attack to access that account's network. If successful the attackers changed the device's DNS settings to steer users to sites hosting COVID-19 related malware. The malware attempted to steal user's credentials for banking, financial, digital wallets, and others.
If you have used Linksys Smart Wi-Fi web site to manage or monitor your Linksys or D-Link devices you should reset your account's password and check your device's DNS settings.
It is good practice to have each device on your network use the local DNS settings on each network the device can connect to instead of the perimeter network devices like routers, cable modems, or Wireless Access Points.
