At least half a million routers and storage devices in dozens of countries around the world have been infected by a sophisticated botnet, in preparation for an alleged planned cyber attack on Ukraine.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has obtained court orders and has taken control of the command and control servers of a massive botnet of over 500,000 devices, known as the VPNFilter botnet. The existence of this massive threat came to light yesterday when Cisco Talos published a report about VPNFilter infecting over 500,000 routers and NAS devices across the world.

With the domain firmly in its grasp, the FBI is now asking users across the world who own affected routers and NAS devices to reset their equipment.
The reasoning, according to the FBI, is to make these devices reconnect to the command and control server, giving the FBI a full insight into the botnet’s real size.
The FBI plans to use this knowledge to create a list of vulnerable devices and notify ISPs, private and public sector partners that can deal with the infected devices.
Owners of the following types of devices are vulnerable to the VPNFilter malware, and should reboot their devices, based on the FBI’s advice:

Here are some general tips about how to better harden your IoT security:
Ensure all default passwords are changed to strong passwords.
Make sure all your devices have the latest security updates and patches on a daily basis.
Always set passwords to new devices and routers. Do not use the default passwords these devices come with.
Keep in mind that every device that connects to the internet has the possibility of being hacked giving the hackers access to your entire network. Make sure every connected device you purchase also comes with some type of security.
