\nthey can’t be compromised by cryptojackers or other attackers. According
\nto ZDNet<\/a>, the hacker, who goes by Alexey, is a system
\nadministrator and claims to have disinfected more then 100,000 MikroTik
\nrouters. He told ZDNet that he added firewall rules to block access to
\nthe routers from outside the local network, and then “in the comments, I wrote information about the
\nvulnerability and left the address of the @router_os Telegram channel, where
\nit was possible for them to ask questions.” Evidently, a few folks have said “thanks”, but many are outraged.\n<\/p>\n
