VPN Malware

[Rousey]

Hi, 

 

First things first apologies if this is in the wrong place but someone just sent me an article about some malware targeting routers and netgear was on the list. Is this something that will eventually get patched? Apologies if its a stupid question just curious

 

Here is the article in question https://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/news/3033776/warning-over-vpnfilter-malware-and-botnet-as-more-routers-are-affected

 

Thanks

Hey there, check out this link from Netgear about this malware: https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers/Security-Advisory-for-VPNFilter-Malware-on-Some-Routers/td-p/1576170

 

Also XR500 doesn't appear to be on the affected router's list.
