FBI recomenda medidas de segurança para roteadores após ataques do GRU russo

Agências federais dos EUA revelaram que a inteligência militar russa comprometeu milhares de roteadores de pequenos escritórios e residências, instando os proprietários a tomarem medidas de proteção imediatas.

O FBI e a NSA revelaram em 7 de abril que uma unidade do GRU, conhecida como APT28 ou Fancy Bear, tem como alvo roteadores SOHO desde pelo menos 2024. A operação envolveu o sequestro de DNS para interceptar credenciais e comunicações, afetando dispositivos em 23 estados e impactando mais de 5.000 dispositivos de consumo, além de 200 organizações, de acordo com relatórios da Microsoft.
