There is malware designed specifically for routers, DroneBL rootkit, psyb0t, Chuck Norris botnet, ZLOB DNS Changer. One study of 1000 routers found 69% made no changes to the router security from default. Routers and other peripheral devices are compromised by attackers because they are the least secure items, least paid attention to, in most set ups. If anyone here knows more about this please respond, as this is really all I know about it.
#LINKSYS WIRELESS ROUTER FOR MAC HOW TO#
Wanted $100 bucks to tell me how to update the firmware, which did not solve the problem. I called Cisco, they were no help at all. If you use one of these Linksys routers you should check to see what DNS numbers it's using and I recommend changing them no matter what, as other pre-installed numbers from unreliable sources could also cause the problem. Here's the info on the DNS server that the router was using: The router had DNS numbers that pointed to a server that redirects URL requests to sites that display ads that someone collects money from when a user clicks on them. The problem did not show up until the router's warranty had expired. These routers are sold in Wal-Marts everywhere and meant to be used for home networks. Well, I spent some time tracking the issue down this week and found it was caused my Linksys Wireless Router made by Cisco Systems.

It was driving me pretty crazy because I knew my Mac computers did not have a virus. This problem continued to get worse and started affecting Yahoo and Google as well. I am no security expert, but this is an issue I recently came across.Īwhile back "Ask.com" started redirecting me to web sites other than the one listed when I clicked a link in their search results pages.
