A broadband router botnet and vendor complacency stinks

A worm is creating a botnet based on broadband routers. Botnets are used to launch denial of service attacks which cause internet services such as websites to become unavailable or slow. The disturbing component of this example is the vendor complacency. In spite being warned about using the same settings on their broadband routers it seems some companies have continued to do so. That creates great opportunity for this sort of worm. We will watch this issue closely and produce follow up information. http://amplify.com/u/21cp
