Thousands of D-Link routers under control of AryStinger botnet

Researchers have found that the recently discovered AryStinger botnet has quietly hijacked thousands of end‑of‑life D‑Link routers and some network-attached storage (NAS) devices, turning them into a distributed scanning and proxy network that attackers can use to hide their activity and launch attacks against other targets. Having your devices under control of a botnet is not just a problem for the people being targeted. It can also put your own privacy and security at risk.
