The FBI took down a botnet of small office/home office (SOHO) routers used by Russia's Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GRU) to proxy malicious traffic and to target the United States and its allies in spearphishing and credential theft attacks.
Thanks, I find the names of Ubiquiti’s product lines pretty confusing particularly as they are often used together.
I have an Edgerouter X, an Edgerouter PoE-5, two UAP-AC-LR (“Ubiquiti UniFi-AC-LR”) access points, and one UAP-AC-MESH (“Ubiquiti UniFi-AC-MESH”) access point.
The access points came with UniFi firmware, whereas the routers were running EdgeOS. I’m no longer using the PoE-5 and I’ve replaced the firmware on all of the other devices with OpenWrt.
