New Condi malware goes after TP Link Routers, builds botnet

This is not Conti (c o n t i) this is a new malware group called Condi (C o n d i) who is behind this attack.

I spotted the bleeping computer article titled New Condi malware builds DDoS botnet out of TP-Link AX21 routers and I read it today.

Talk about Bricking routers, this one doesn’t quite do that, but it might as well come close. This one prevents it from getting rebooted or shut down. That can be bad with non-persistent threats, because this one prevents you from doing anything about it.

TP Link does address this, and Bleeping computer has the details on this one.

If you use TP Link, please be advised on what is out there. Thanks for reading!
