On top of this the DNS servers appear to be controlled by a <strong>London-registered<\/strong> hosting firm (<strong>3NT Solutions<\/strong>), although the actual servers appear to be based in the <strong>Netherlands<\/strong> and not the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that the UK itself doesn&#8217;t really crop up much in the count of infected devices, with victims being spread globally and most likely distributed based on the proportion of vulnerable devices supplied by local ISPs.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" alt=\"router hacks by country\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2014-internet-statistics\/router_hacks_by_country.gif\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The easiest way to tell if you&#8217;ve been compromised is to login to your router via a web browser and check what, if any, IP addresses have been assigned for your Internet connections DNS servers. This is often set to automatic and controlled by your ISP, although others may be legitimate DNS settings for <strong>OpenDNS<\/strong> (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) or <strong>Google Public DNS<\/strong> (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) etc.<\/p>\n<p>But if any of these IPs happen to match the hacker addresses listed above then swap them for something more legitimate and make sure your router has the latest firmware installed (note: ISP supplied kit usually gets updated automatically). Details of the hack can be found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-cymru.com\/ReadingRoom\/Whitepapers\/2013\/TeamCymruSOHOPharming.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">teams report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 6th March 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A status update from AAISP (<a href=\"https:\/\/s.aa.net.uk\/1900\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) reveals that the broadband provider has received a &#8220;<em>small number of reports from customers who have had the DNS settings on their routers altered. The IPs we are seeing set are <strong>199.223.215.157<\/strong> and <strong>199.223.212.99<\/strong> (there may be others)<\/em>&#8220;. This is a related DNS exploit that was also mentioned in the above report.<\/p>\n<p>The ISP spotted the activity by logging when customers tried to access the related\u00a0IP addresses and contacting them accordingly. We only wish other ISPs would confirm if they were also\u00a0being this pro-active.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers working for Team Cymru&#8217;s Threat Intelligence Group have discovered that over 300,000 consumer-grade small office \/ home (SOHO) broadband routers, including those from brands like ZyXEL, D-Link, Micronet, Tenda, TP-Link and others, have been hijacked as part of a man-in-the-middle style attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6182,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[480,86,479],"class_list":["post-6181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-crime","tag-law","tag-security"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
