Russia spy agency reported to be hacking into home and small business routers

 As a follow on to the recent blog post of  March 30 where the FCC has banned almost all consumer grade routers not made in the United States - a Russian spy agency was recently found to be hacking into TP-Link and MicroTik routers with known vulnerabilities to route victim's Internet traffic to servers under the control of Russian hacking unit known as Fancy Bear.

 The intent is to steal passwords and OAuth tokens to gain access th those accounts.

 The FBI has secured a court order allowing them to effectively hack into the affected routers and remove the dodgy DNS records.
