Besides their form factors and power capacities, the two are practically the same. Here’s the bottom line:…

The researchers added: “This campaign is notable in that it demonstrates how impactful smishing operations can be executed using simple, accessible infrastructure. Given the strategic utility of such equipment, it is highly likely that similar devices are already being exploited in ongoing or future smishing campaigns.” Sekoia said it’s unclear how the devices are being compromised. One possibility is through CVE-2023-43261, a vulnerability in the routers that was fixed in 2023 with the release of version 35.3.0.7 of the device firmware. The vast majority of 572 identified as unsecured ran versions 32 or earlier. CVE-2023-43261 stemmed from a misconfiguration that…
