Fortinet researchers have uncovered C0XMO, an advanced Gafgyt variant that exploits a DD-WRT router flaw (CVE-2021-27137) for complete device takeover. This botnet doesn't just hijack bandwidth; it aggressively eliminates rival malware and establishes persistent control to launch sophisticated DDoS attacks. Discover the TTPs and crucial defenses against this evolving IoT threat.

Anyone running a #GLInet router? I've been running #ddwrt on a netgear for a long time. I thought about switching to #openwrt, gave it a try, and it went poorly.

Now we have gigabit fiber AND router buys are going to get dicey in the US in the future. I'm considering getting a #Flint3 even though we're OK now because it may be impossible to get here in a year.

Anyone have thoughts about the line and / or experience with them?
