Recent research has found a lot of older Wi-Fi gear may be vulnerable to being deployed into the Mirai botnet network. Once exploited the attacker may further compromise the device to gain access of your home network.
A flaw in a VERY large number of devices using Realtek chips are vulnerable. Just visiting a malicious web site is enough to trigger the vulnerability and execute one of a series of exploits. 65 companies used the vulnerable chips in hundreds of products. Scanning shows sever hundred thousand devices are currently connected to the Internet.
Wi-Fi routers, Wi-Fi access points, Wi-Fi range extenders, USB Wi-Fi network adapters and more have used the vulnerable chip sets.
Realtek has released a firmware update, but your vulnerable device manufacturer may not.
If your device is listed in the list below, check the manufacturer for firmware updates. Be especially wary of Suddenlink provided equipment on the list.
