Summary of the Article: FBI vs. Russian Cyberspies

Key Points:

– The US government has taken down a network of several Ubiquiti Edge OS routers that were being controlled by Russian APT28 hackers.
– The routers were being used as part of a botnet, a network of infected devices used for cyber attacks.
– The FBI’s efforts successfully neutralized the threat posed by the compromised routers.

Hot Take:

Who said routers were only good for spreading Wi-Fi signals? In this case, they were spreading chaos! Kudos to the FBI for putting these sneaky Russian cyberspies in their place. Looks like the only thing these hackers will be controlling now is their disappointment.
